Notes:
Examines public issues related to farm size, ownership structure, labor, soil conservation, food supply, others. Includes a discussion (p. 99-106) about the inadequacy of the statement, "I speak for the farmers." Cites Prof. J.E. Boyle in the North American Review who once described farmers as the most organized Americans. Said Boyle: "Farming is not one business but an infinite tangle of competing businesses."
