YOUR
FARM PROBLEM
By EZRA TAFT BENSON
Secretary of Agriculture
Any effective solution of to
day’s farm problem must provide
methods for reducing our huge
stockpile of agricultural com
modities and at the same time
prevent further burdensome ac
cumulations.
Getting rid of these surpluses
is only half of our problem. Even
if we were able to bring them
down to manageable proportions,
we would soon acquire new
hoards of wheat, corn, cotton and
butter under the existing system
of price supports.
We already have approxi
mately $2.5 billions tied up in
loans on farm commodities, in
addition to an equal amount in
vested in goods which we own
outright ss billions in all.
Our present program does not
encourage the production shifts
which are required to meet the
changing market demands for
various commodities.
Os course, we could destroy
some of our surpluses. Remember
the government’s potato fiasco of
a few years ago?
Or we might plow under every
third row of cotton and kill little
pigs. Remember the mid-1930’5?
Actually, we would not even
consider such wasteful practices.
We ar? att?~'pt’’’g to rnve
r.urp’uo food and fibc” into f-r
--olgn market?. World prices, how
■ ”? •••?!’ th? figures
at which we acquired these com
modities under our price support
operations. This means that we
will be forced to take substantial
losses on whatever we sell
abroad.
At the same time, we must
avoid outright dumping, which
would disrupt normal trade chan
nels and bring down upon us the
wrath of other friendly countries.
There are these other alterna
tives: We can make a real effort
to move surpluses out of ware
houses and into stomachs by pro
moting greater public consump
tion of some commodities. We can
push forward in our research
programs to uncover new uses
for farm goods. We can throw our
entire weight behind plans for
expanding present foreign mar
kets and finding new outlets
overseas.
Such methods, while they will
not produce results as quickly as
dumping or destroying food, offer
a far sounder opproach to our
basic problems.
Along those lines, I can report
that our promotional camoaign,
undertaken with the meat in
dustry and food stores, is pro
ducing real results. We are con
suming beef this year at the rate
of 75 pounds per person, the high
est in our history.
Farm exports have turned up
ward since July 1, reflecting our
emphasis upon expanding trade.
Continued high employment at
home, with national income at
record levels, means a strong de
mand for farm goods in the
United States.
Our population is growing at a
rate of more than 2.000,000 per
year, which means that by 1957
there will be 200,000,000 Amer
icans. Our future farm problems
may involve questions of short
ages, rather than surpluses.
We cannot wait for on ex
panding population to solve our
immediate troubles, however. We
need an interim program to en
courage shifts to other crops. We
must halt further build-ups of
government stockpiles now.
Our urgent need is for a price
support program which can be
adjusted in terms of production
and demand. One which will
effectively reduce surpluses, with
A minimum of government con
trols.
That is our immediate .goal.
Such a program will be offered
to Congress by this Administra
tion in January.
