An analysis of the 1985 Farm Bill released by the Board of the National Farmers Union (NFU) at the group’s annual convention here concludes that the U.S. can not afford a continuation of the current farm program.

The NFU analysis says the cur rent farm program actually affected the structure of agricul ture. The report points out that twelve percent of U.S. farmers went out of business during the last decade, most of which oper ated medium sized farms.

The major problems with the administration of the current law, the report says, is that “discretion ary price cuts were used to depress prices below the statutory price support levels” in an effort to improve the competitiveness of U.S. farm products in world mark ets. In addition, NFU says Com modity Credit Corporation dump ing practices further depressed prices. NFU leaders say Congress had sought to eventually raise commodity prices by reducing supplies, but that whenever prices began to rally, CCC stocks were dumped onto the market, keeping available supplies heavy and prices low. The NFU says (his contradiction in purposes led to lower farm income, and cost the government an average of 17 bil lion dollars a year this decade. Finally, the NFU says that export bonuses, and lower prices did not improve the U.S. export market share. In fact, the report says recent USDA statistics show that the U.S. market share is actu ally slipping for some commodities. The position paper says there are some positive aspects of the ‘B5 bill that should be modified slightly and placed into the next farm program. These include soil conservation provisions, which the report says should be broadened to include groundwater protection; farm credit, which NFU says was drastically improved by the Agricultural Cre dit Act of 1987; research and extension, which the officials say should be refocused to developing new crops, and uses and spurring demand for existing crops; and the peanut, sugar, and wool and mohair programs.
