Abstract

Remarks by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman to Farmer Cooperative Service Symposium on Non-Farmer Business: Problems for Farmer Cooperatives, University of Maryland, College Park, 6:30 p.m. (EDT), May 8, 1967: I want no one to misunderstand me when I speak of family farming. I'm not talking about subsistence farming. I'm not talking about retirement farming. I am talking about [the] farm — where the family provides most of the labor around the place; — where the family makes the major management decisions; — where the family gets most of its income from producing commodities for commercial markets; — where modern scientific and technological practices are efficiently applied; — where the family, in doing so, earns an income that is adequate — by city standards — to compensate for its labor, management, and investment. This is the kind of farming — family farming — whose continued success I ask you co-op leaders to assure.
