Abstract
Description
One of the more curious features of U.S. agricultural policy is how steadfastly it has held its ancient course despite squalls of criticism from policy experts and countervailing currents of economic reality. For 50 years U.S. policy has aimed primarily at controlling production rather than at finding markets. Now more and more people are concluding this course is wrong, and are urging legislators to take a new tack. The article goes on discuss possible remedies to this stagnation.
