Six point program for national farm policy proposed
University of Nebraska economist Dr. Everett E. Peterson outlined a six point public policy plan at the Nebraska Society of Farm Managers meeting. He urged production shifts by demand and value, food reserves reappraisal, universal diet adequacy, full employment, enhanced farm-family aid, and easier credit for young farmers.
