tor years farmers Have been
trying to tell their story to the
nonfarm public. Serious public
relations efforts were made in the
mid- and late 60 ’s to tell consumers
why there were surpluses and why
farmers needed better laws to help
them attain income equity.
For the most part well-fed ur
banites listened but did nothing
about the farmer’s “problem”.
Food was a bargain, incomes were
fairly high compared to the cost of
most things and no one had even
dreamed of a fuel crisis.
Surveys across the country in the
60’ s showed that consumers liked
farmers, thought they were honest
and hardworking, would them-

selves like to live in the country
someday, but wouldn’t want to live
on a farmer’s income.
They also disliked government
programs aimed at boosting farm
incomes. And even though it was
pointed out time and tune again,
the urban dweller never un
derstood or accepted the fact that
government money spent keeping
agriculture healthy and productive
was being returned manyfold at
the supermarket checkout counter
And so the carefree 60’s came
and went with no real in
conveniences for most of us except
a small war and some civil unrest.
Farmers were struggling to make
ends meet but there was nothing
unusual about that and so nothing
was done to solve some of their
problems except talk.
Agriculture spokesman talked
about the need for a healthy
agriculture. Farmers talked about
how they worked day and night for
a dollar or less an hour. The
Agriculture Department talked
about food being a bargain, and the
politicians just talked.
I remember one of those blue
sky guys talking about what was
going to happen to agriculture once
the Vietnam war ended and we got
at the busmess of trying to feed the
hungry people of the world.
He talked about the boom years
ahead for farmers, the world
demand and soaring prices for
farm goods. He talked about a five
year time-table that would see
farmers through the surpluses and
depressed prices and into an
almost utopia where those who
were able to make it through the
wringer would have good times.
'Veil, the good times came and
went. He didn’t predict that. And
farmers didn’t think about that. So

times prediction, they expanded,
bought land and machinery and
went into debt.
Then about 1980 the good tunes
went away and it doesn’t look like
they’re coming back - at least not
for several more years. And far
mers are once again in the midst of
a crisis
Farmers have had so many
crises for many years that people
have trouble identifying the real
ones The cry for better farm
prices sounds no different than
previous cries by dairymen,
cattlemen, wheat farmers,
broilermen and so on down the list
of commodity groups. What’s any
different about this crisis com
pared to the one a few years ago
when farmers poured their milk in
the streets, or the time poultrymen
broke eggs and smothered chicks!
And looking way back, didn’t
fanners plow under crops and
bury baby pigs in an effort to
improve farm prices in the midst
of another crisis 7
The present farm crisis is in full
bloom at the precise time when
Congress must write a new farm
bill. That exaggerates everything
and leaves the lawmakers with an
impossible task.
The farm crisis is as simple as
about 25 percent too much, farm
output. It’s also as complicated as
what to do to reduce production
without increasing retail food costs
and putting thousands of farmers
off the land.
The farm crisis defies a simple
solution. Anyone who says it
doesn’t isn’t paying attention.
Congress will write a new farm
bill, I’m confident of that. But I
don’t think anything that even
suggests a solution to the farm
problem will occur.
