Farm policy is
‘too fragmented’
COLUMBIA, Mo. - U.S.
agricultural policy is too
“fragmented” to deal with
large issues such as the
survival of the family farm,
said a University of Texas
political scientist at a recent
farm policy meeting here.
“Farmers I think have a
choice now. We can either go
on in this kind of fragmented
way or take the 'risk of
coalition politics,” said
Frances Hdl at the UMC-
Perry Foundation Seminar
on Agricultural Marketing
and Policy.
“If we simply sum up the
policies around the some 120
commodity organizations,
what we find is not that these
organizations are talking
about credit, taxation,
widow’s tax, land use or
energy policy.
“What we find instead is
that they are splitting off
from each other, so that
those people who regulate
eggs need not be bothered by
dealing with those people
who regulate poultry.
“What we have then is a
system that is purposely
designed to avoid the large
issues,” she said, issues such
as “the quality of life, the
nature of farmers and the
relation of land to the public
interest.”
Policy makers during the
1940’s decided that
agricultural programs
would be “fragmented and
commodity-specific.” One
reason this happened was
“farmers feared the
legislative process,” Hill
said.
“It seems safer somehow
for each fragment of far
mers to find a fragmented
sub-agency' and to work

through the process of
regulatory definition of
policy rather than taking the
risk of legislation.”
Also, farmers fear the
legislative process because
the “farm bloc” in Congress
is decreasing.
However, in order to deal
with issues such as whether
traditional family
agriculture can survive,
farmers need to become
involved in “coalition
politics.”
Coalitions of farmers with
labor, consumers and “in
deed even with the en
vironmentalists” could be
formed and compromises
could be made to bring big
agricultural issues into the
“legislative arena.”
“In our system there is no
place other than the
legislatures to raise the big
issues.” ‘
Farmers could also work
more closely with state and
local governments, where
issues such as land use,
zoning and taxation can be
more easily handled.
“The economic crisis of
the family farm is having an
impact on larger economic
issues,” Hill noted.
“There is a tendency now
to use farmers and
especially their wives as an
immobile labor force m
rural industrialization.”
Hill questioned whether
farmers and their wives
should continue with their
off-farm jobs, “to subsidize
farming which in a sense
cannot support itself under
present conditions or
whether we should begin to
look for opportunities to
raise the larger issues, to
take that risk m coalition
politics.”
