among many people ^
present farm programs have
helped big fanners more than
little farmers."
As a result, Pugh believes
another attempt will be made
in Congress to put a limitation
on the size of payment that
any one farmer can receive
from the government.
Inflation is another national
concern which is likely to be
on the minds of urban
congressmen as they debate a
new farm program, the NCSU
economist continued.
"Rightly or wrongly, rising
food prices have become a
symbol of the public's concern
over inflation." he commented.
"Therefore, urban congressmen
will be reluctant to vote for a
farm program that they feel
will add to food costs."
Despite the decline in farm
numbers and the growing
power of consumers, Pugli does
not feci that the special needs
of agriculture will be ignored in
Washington.
The entire nation, he says,
has a stake in a healthy rural
economy and an adequate
supply of-wholesome food and
liber.
"But I do feel that the
special needs of agriculture will
be increasingly weighed against
broad national concerns such
as federal spending, inflation,
and the amount of government
money received by some large
farmers."
"In turn, some of the more
fruitful legislative
developments in the early '70s
may capitalize on mutual
interests of rural and city
dwellers. For example,
programs to promote a rural ?
urban population balance
could receive widespread
attention. It is increasingly
recognized tliat one avenue for
relieving the social and
economic problems of urban
congestion is to develop a
sound base for business and
people in rural areas." Dr. Pugh
concluded.
