Abstract

Congressional debate on farm commodity legislation is taking place in a “crisis” atmosphere. This may make it difficult for decision makers to understand that government programs and other policy actions are part of the problem. Traditional programs, which rely on commodity supply and demand manipulation, no longer work well. Congress should move to a phased market-oriented agriculture program which would make farmers better off in the long run and make consumers and taxpayers better off in both the short run and long run.
