No 307910, Agricultural Economic Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Extract from the report Preface: The charge to the review team was to "focus on the (marketing order) programs’ effects on economic efficiency, costs, and productivity.” Special attention was to be given "to those regulations that enable agricultural industries to control quantities of commodities marketed through various means such as reserve pools, producer allotments, rate-of-flow provisions and shipping holidays." Policy options encompassing both legislative and administrative changes were to be defined and analyzed.
