Abstract:
Many programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, particularly those concerned with supporting the prices of farm products and encouraging farmers to adjust production to demand, were initiated by interrelated laws passed by the Congress from 1933 to 1975. This report attempts to provide an overall view, showing how Congress modified legislation to meet changing economic situations, and giving a historical background on program development. It should serve as background for persons concerned with analyzing present farm programs.
