Agricultural subsidies in grains, cotton, milk, sugar, tobacco,
honey, wool, and peanuts are analyzed in this examination of U.S.
farm policy. Looking at such programs as food stamps, crop
insurance, subsidized credit, trade credit, trade subsidies and
import restrictions, conservation, agricultural research, and
taxation, this historical perspective argues that these subsidies
ultimately redistribute wealth to powerful agricultural interests
who use their political clout to advance their economic interests
at the expense of the general public. This analysis of government
farm programs will appeal to professors and students who study
agriculture; people affected by government farm policies; public
officials, and businesses affected by agricultural policy such as
those in food service, retail, and distribution.
