Farmer-Committee System
Democracy in Effective
Form, PMA Chief Declares
"I' have reached the conclusion thai one cannot overemphasize
the Importance ol farmer Influence and Judgment In meeting our
agricultural conservation and other problems." Ralph S. Trigg,
FMA administrator, told farmer-committeemen at recent meetings
In Ohio, Arkansas, Louisiana ana Tennessee.
These meetings were Triggs
the
ashington
first opportunity to get Into
field to meet state PMA com
mitteemen since becoming PMA
administrator.
Through the farmer-committee
system, said the administrator,
the voice of the folks down on the
farm is continually brought to
bear at Mate and a
levels. He aded,
"Committee administration Is
democracy at work, In Its most
effective form. I am sure that
time will prove that the develop
ment of this system has been
one of the great achievements of
recent years In farm program de
velopment." Four-Way Problem
Discussing the future of the
farm program, he pointed out
that the problems lie in four
major fields: (11 Conservation of
our natural resources along with
such production adjustment as
may be necessary: (2) Price sup
port: (3) adequate markets at
home and abroad; and (4) more
efficiency in marketing.
On conservation he laid, "1
feel that every farmer should
have the opportunity to partici
pate In the government s pro
gram to conserve soil and In mv
opinion that will require the
continuation of payments . . . Ex
perience hn shown that conser
vation, to be fully effective, must
be performed on a nation-wide
basis.
"Price support should not be so
high as to price the farmers'
products out of the market, or to
encourage overproduction. Neith
er should It he so low as to fail
to give the farmer a fair mini
mum of income security."
Referring to markets, he said i
that sooner or later we will need
some sort of floor under con
sumption of farm products, the
school lunch program being a
step in this direction.
He called for continued re
search to develoo new uses for
farm products and less waste in I
getting products to consumers. !
As producers, we've got to be
market-minded. . .and as market
ers, to be production-minded."
Referring to the Production
and Marketing Administration. 1
Trigz said, "PMA was organized i
as tne larmers production and
marketing administration. Its key
purpose Is to provide for the
farmer a balanced and integrated
program that will attack at the
community, state, and national
levels those aspects of both his
traduction and marketing prob
ems that he could not tackle
successfully all by himself as an
Individual."
