Agriculture crisis under Freeman policies blamed for farm downturn
The article argues that farm prosperity has fallen under Freeman and Johnson policies. Net farm income rose nominally from 12 billion to 16.1 billion, but in stable dollars it rose from 12 to 14.9 billion, while government payments jumped from 693 million to 3.27 billion. Farm population, farms, and total farm employment declined since 1960, with debt rising from 26.2 to 45.8 billion. Despite some price rebounds in wheat corn and cattle, farmers have not prospered, and the Johnson-Freeman approach of more government spending is deemed ineffective.
