Supports tied to production costs hurt small farms
Washington based UPI summary notes that big farmers earn far higher returns on equity than small operators. Economists Hottel and Reinsel warn that basing future government price supports on a single composite average will overestimate costs for large producers and worsen the gap. The 1970 census shows returns rise with farm size, while the smallest farms show negative or near zero returns, prompting concerns over growing commercial farms and outside investment.
