Another section details recently
enacted 1962 programs for wheat,
feed grains, cotton and rice. The
booklet is intended as a guide for
farm suppliers, farmers,
processors, and distributors, as

educational institutions that
coordinate and serve the global
agribusiness community, ac
cording to James L. Evans,
Minneapolis office partner and
national director of Peat Mar
wick’s Agribusiness Practice.

“There is mounting evidence that
international demands are
balancing our growing
agricultural productivity, and this
trend can be seen throughout the
legislation,” said Evans.
In a forward to the booklet, Ray
A. Goldberg, Moffett Professor of
Agriculture and Business at the
Harvard Business School, writes
that it is “...critical for decision
makers in agribusiness to know not
only the provisions of the 196M1
Food Act but also bow to use these
provisions in attempting to limit
the greater volatility and risk that
exist in the total vertical food
system from farm supplier to
distributor.”
The provisions of the Act set a
new time for government par
ticipation in agriculture, which is
at once a continuation of historic

, trends and a signal of new direc
jtions. “Further, the legislative
I process reflected in the passage of
this bill signals an important shift

Hargrove, an agricultural
economist m the Management
