Iowa State University economists outline a major shift in U.S. farm policy for the 1970s featuring long-term retirement of marginal farms to balance supply with demand. The plan could halve government control costs and ease a transition to a market system, with staged rollout over five years and retirement caps of 50 to 60 million acres.
