Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Entrepreneurship in America; Federal Government Burdens on Agribusiness: Field Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, April 13, 1995
Peter C. Myers Sr., former Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, usda President Myers Land Management Co.
Mr. Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to voice my concerns about the excessive burden that federal government regulations are placing on U. S. Farmers and ranchers. Today federal government is talking about phasing out federal farm program payments as we know them and causing farmers to receive all their income from the free market. This in the long run may benefit u.s. Agriculture, but in the interim or transition period will cause severe economic hardships for many family farm operations as well as negatively affecting the price of land and therefore affecting the equity position of all rural land owners. That is a subject for another day, but it does speak to the necessity of relieving the economic burden of excessive regulations on our farmers, ranchers and agri - businesses.
There are three areas in particular among several regulatory areas that impose economic hardships by the federal Government on farmers and ranchers. For brevity I will use the term farmers to include farmers and ranchers, male and female, small large, family corporate.
