Governmental Cost in Agriculture: The Concept and Its Measurement

Frederick D. Stocker

No 391406, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: In January 1954, the United States Department of Agriculture made public a tabular summary of realized costs of Federal farm programs from 1932 through the fiscal year 1953 (Appendix, table 2). These costs were detailed year by year for each major category of Federal activities related to agriculture, as well as for many specific programs in each category. Since it first appeared, this summary has been revised several times. It has now been brought to date through the fiscal year 1955. The revised form of this summary, which provides the basis for the discussion that follows, appears in the appendix of this report.
