Beattie, of the College of Agriculture at Penn State recently. Beattie said the nation has not had a well thought out, clearly expressed agricultural policy. What has existed, he contended, has been a reactive operation geared to the political and economic suitability of the year, month, or moment. Writing in a recent issue of “Science in Agriculture,” the quarterly magazine of the College of Agriculture, Beattie outlined five key elements he believes must be dealt with: Assurance of a fair rate of return on investments; preservation of prime agricultural lands; support of the needs of research and development; renewed emphasis on the part nership between federal, state, and local governments; and reasonable laws and regulations. Farm production, despite some concern about “corporate far ming,” is not like manufacturing, he pointed out. The assembly line cannot be shut down and the workers laid off. Modern farming, he observed, involves a tremen dous capital investment and enormous risks. “A resource so vital to the continued well-being and health of our nation must have some guarantees to the producers of a fair rate of return on in vestments,” he affirmed.

It involves the rights of ownership and all the increasing pressures of urban growth, plus the expanding needs for residential, industrial, and recreational areas. The an swers are certain to involve use of public funds.” Beattie said agriculture’s por tion of federal funds for research and development is down to about 1.3 percent. In 1940, agriculture received nearly 40 percent of the budget for research and development. Since the mid-1960’5, federal funding has fallen seriously behind the inflation rate, he claimed. “Today our pool of basic research information is used up to the point where we have very little basic information from which to draw the answers for future problems,” he commented. “It is urgent that a new national com mitment, involving both public and private funding sources, be made James V Yale 41 3 32 3 31 3 W.B Dixon Strowd 465 3 Wilkinson Farm #2 953 3 805 3 Enosß Peifer 3 3 30 3 Herman Stoltzfus Goldie 9 Ardrossan Farms Snothm 1 Boysmin 1 Svgbell 1 C Betty 1 SB Time 1 Louise C Neyman 25 3 Harry L Gnest 69 3 JoeIC Brown 446 3 705 3 Vernon Guest & Son Darla 3 LeonD Kurtz Delores 3 Earl Mast Faith 3 Lene Hill Farms 11 3 Joseph S.

He said state and federal legislators, for various reasons, have not lived up to the commitments mandated in the Hatch Act which created the State Agricultural Experiment Stations and the Smith-Lever Act which established the Cooperative Extension Service. “The Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 was a 'significant restatement of this federal, state, and local partnership,” he noted. Beattie defined reasonable laws and regulations as making “an appropriate balance between free enterprise and government con trol.” “We must protect the consuming public while avoiding undue burdens upon farmers,” he said. “Most often it is not the legislation directly that causes' problems. Rather, it is the regulations developed by people with little or no experience in agriculture. Such regulations can go too far, become too costly, and ignore a com monsense approach to problems,” he concluded.
