FEASIBILITY OF FARM BARGAINING AS A TOOL FOR MARKETING FARM COMMODITIES. (A CASE STUDY)

Download pdf | Full Screen View

Date Issued:
1972
Summary:
Some farmers believe the century-old open and competitive farm marketing system is obsolete . They would substitute price-fixing through a farm bargaining association designed to yield cost of production plus a "fair" profit to the farmer. The research done by marketing specialists and economists in most of our leading land-grant colleges indicates farm bargaining is not the panacea to greater cash returns to the farmer ... for all farm commodities. Testimony given before the House and Senate of the Ninety-Second Session of the Congress of the United States last September, October and November failed to generate the votes necessary for passage of H. R. 7597, a farm bargaining bill. Price-fixing through compulsory farm bargaining can mean higher consumer prices, substitute foods including synthetics, loss of freedom to choose with whom to do business, damaged export markets where price is critical, discrimination against non-association producers, and more federal control.
