Economic Issues and Policy 6th Edition by Jacqueline Murray Brux

Exercise 15

Have you ever thought about writing to your legislators about farm policy? Probably not! Consider some of the issues: farmworker justice, the effects of U.S. agricultural subsidies on poor farmers in developing counties, inefficiencies in our food aid programs, inequities in our farm programs, and so on. Have the issues raised in this chapter encouraged you to write such a letter? Do it! (You can find your senators at http://www.senate.gov and your representatives at http://www.house.gov.)
