SOME CURRENT POLICY ISSUES

Alan G. Lloyd

Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1970, vol. 14, issue 2, 14

Abstract: A number of current policy issues are discussed which illustrate serious confusion and economic illiteracy in the minds of many influential farm leaders. The issues discussed are: the cost-price squeeze in agriculture; the embargo on the export of merino rams; promotion of farm products; land policy; and tax concessions for agriculture. In some cases policies are followed which run counter to both farmer and national interests. Along with farm management extension, there is a growing need for agricultural policy extension.
