Truman Letter Questions Farm Law Failure in Missouri
Senator Harry S. Truman admits in a letter to Mussoui farmer Joe E Thompson that past farm legislation has failed and seeks a practical solution. He critiques the cost of production approach, cites Hoover's Farm Board as a failure, and notes uncertainty over the wheat plan while pledging to work with Missouri farmers to find a workable policy. The letter reflects Truman’s self-identified farming experience and calls for real-world, fair methods for seven to eight million U.S. farms.
