Discussion: Economic and Political Factors Influencing The Outcome of the 1981 Farm Bill

Ronald D. Knutson

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1981, vol. 13, issue 1, 25-28

Abstract: The papers by Boehm and Spitze provide contrasts in approach, content, and conclusions. The Spitze paper reflects the issues as seen through the eyes of an observant professor located in a major Corn Belt university. Its ideas reflect sensitivity to articulation of policy problems confronting producers in the region. Boehm's paper is particularly strong in that it reflects the day-to-day sensitivity to the contemporary economic and political forces that currently affect the policy process. Both papers lack a clear sensitivity to the policy position and problems of southern agriculture.
