End to farm programs seen as driving farmers from the land
A UPI report notes an Agriculture Department study predicts abolition of all farm programs would sharply cut farm income and push many marginal operators off the land. It argues big commercial farmers would suffer more than small operators, with less than $5,000 in annual sales least affected. Prices would drop initially, then rebound for soybeans, while cotton could fall to 25–27 cents per pound.
