Abstract:
Farmers are facing one of the most unstable price situations in many decades, according to Dr. W.D. Toussaint, head of the Department of Economics and Business at North Carolina State University. Toussaint discusses how the current period of farm price instability dates back to 1972, when weather conditions were unusually bad. In addition, farming production has been hampered substantially in the past two years by energy problems and a heavier demand for food.
