abstract

  • National agricultural policies intended to stabilize farm price and income may have different impacts on different agricultural sector of a state or a region. A policy which influences a region’s agriculture also may affect the general economy of that region, depending on the degree to which agriculture is linked to the general economy. This study evaluates the economywide impact of the Flexible Planting Program (FPP) — a recent policy designed to encourage farmers to respond more to market than to the government incentives. © 1995, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
