The Food and Fiber Commission Report: Implications for the South

Luther G. Tweeten

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1969, vol. 1, issue 1, 7-12

Abstract: The report of the National Advisory Commission on Food and Fiber displays some shortcomings, but in the main is a well conceived and extremely useful contribution to farm policy. My paper will focus principally on the implications of the Food and Fiber Commission recommendations for the South. A secondary objective will be to critique some of the recommendations, and to suggest some possible improvements in the Commission report.I have divided the recommendations into three categories for this paper: (a) commercial agriculture, (b) world trade, aid and development, and (c) rural poverty and area development. The implications of the latter two categories are presented in a most sketchy manner. I have attempted to be more comprehensive in explaining the implications of policies for commercial agriculture.
