Squeezing the Farmer, Part 1: Initiating Examination of a Persistent Challenge

Author

Abstract

Fear not, the 118th Congress has achieved the bare minimum, passing a continuing resolution that funds the federal government through December and avoids a shutdown prior to the election (The Washington Post, updated September 25, 2024; Hubbard, September 25, 2024). Reauthorization of the Farm Bill was not included (White, September 26, 2024). The potential for a lame duck longshot on reauthorization remains in the discussion for an expected post-election session (Abbott, September 25, 2024; Grebner, September 26, 2024). This article opens a series examining a long-recognized and persistent challenge for farmers and farm policy: falling prices and incomes when costs and expenses do not decrease, or do not fall as fast.
