One ot the keys to getting America back on a
sound economic path and to maintain a
favorable balance ot trade is to increase
productivity And v\ hen it comes to
productivity, we can all take a lesson trom
the Amcman tanner
\s one ot this nation s great entrepreneurs
the farmer has combined the resources ot
land, labor and capital more efficiently than
practically any other segment ot our economy
The tact that Americans spend less of their
income for food than any other people in the
world is a testimonial to this productivity
In the world market the farmer carnes his
weight, and then some In fact well over halt
ot all gram traded internationally is growm on
American farms
The answer is exports.
lf we expect the farmer to continue meeting
the challenge of nsmg world demand for
food, then we must offer a fan return toi his
investment, his risk and his hard work
One important way ot acc 'mplishmg this is
to assure the Amencan farmer access to
world markets for his produce This means
increasing farm exports
Aggressively promoting our agncultural
products overseas will help maintain fair
market pnces and a more ta\ orable balance ot
payments, while assuring the farmer a
reasonable profit
In our balance of
trade, the farmer
carries a lot of
y~\'
weight.
