Our present farm policy is obviously not effective. If it were, 91,250 farmers wouldn't have gone out of business in the last year. What can be done? Currently, the U.S. is importing commodities such as grain, beef and dairy products. The attraction of importing is basic. Even though American farmers don't receive a fair amount for their product, the price of foreign-grown commodities is even lower. These imports glut the market and cause prices to fall. Everyone knows about the "great cheese give-aways" and stock-piles of grain. The solution? The government could raise tariffs on agricultural im- ports, causing them to be higher priced than the products grown domestically, or even ban agricultural imports altogether. Or is this a solution? Suppose the government did raise tariffs. In retaliation, the countries we export to would probably raise their tariffs. TO This would result in fewer exports, leading to yet another glut of the THE FAMILY market and further drops in prices. Suppose the government did ban all FARM agricultural imports. How would the government make American com- panies buy only domestic commodities? And what about the multi- national grain companies with branches all around the world? How would the government get them to buy only American commodities? Presently, the government farm policy subsidizes farmers to grow crops. V\ These subsidies take the form of price supports. For certain commodities, the government pays farmers the difference between the market value and what it sees as a realistic price. These supports artificially raise prices and attract farmers into overproduction, which again results in a glut on the market and lowers market prices. Since the market price Letters drops, the government has to pay out more in subsidies, which again at- main objective was to teach us only how to tracts farmers. Campus is ugly cook or sew.
