Abstract: Conflicts and inconsistencies abound among the many Government programs affecting U.S. agriculture because these programs stem from many different policies with many goals. Although some of these policies conflict, others are paradoxes; they appear to conflict but do not. Here we review the vast web of policies affecting agriculture, and we ask some leading questions to point out a few of the key conflicts and paradoxes of agricultural policy.
