Scope and Contents

In his letter, Roy Schober outlines his criticisms of the current farm program and offers some suggestions for reform. He argues that the program has been a failure because it has tried to hold down production by allocating a certain number of acres per farm. He also argues that it has only made the rich richer and the poor poorer. He suggests limiting subsidy and acreage diversion payments, phasing out farm programs over the next five years, and setting up a long-range land retirement program.
