Toward Farm Security PDF Download

Excerpt from Toward Farm Security It would appear, therefore, that the efforts of farmers will be directed toward consolidation of gains made in recent years and toward follow ing through on those things that promise a greater degree of security for themselves and their children than has been possible in the past. They will want first of all a higher degree of price and income stability than in the past and will doubtless strive for establishment of ways and means whereby such stability may be secured. They will want plans worked out whereby a continually larger proportion of farm operators will be, or have the opportunity of becoming, farm owners. They will want plans perfected that will prevent speculative fluctua tion of land prices. They will want ways and means whereby the physical risks in agricultural production may be reduced or, by means of soundly conceived insurance, spread over large numbers engaged in the industry. They will seek ways and means whereby through cooperative effort they may prevent or reduce wastage of their physical resources by preventing or reducing losses from floods, drought, erosion, or loss of fertility, and thus pass on to their succes sors their lands in as good a condition as when they received them, or better.
