Farm Votes and Farm Dollars In Midcentury Politics
Editorial analysis notes farm voters often split from party lines. Historical price data from 1946, 1948, and 1950 shows farm prosperity did not reliably predict voting outcomes. Despite high prices, Republicans won in 1946. Democrats prevailed in 1948 while prices fell. Iowa shows mixed results, with GOP and Dems winning different races.
