Abstract

The farm economy is a unique system all its own, so it has unique problems associated with it. Whether people like it or not the government will always be involved in agriculture and as long as there are problems there will be policies attempting to correct them.

Some direction needs to be developed and policies set forth to meet the goals and objectives of the ones directly affected. I hope my research is a stepping stone in the right direction
