The 1996 Freedom to Farm Act was intended to increase the role of market forces in agriculture and reduce government intervention. It aimed to improve allocative efficiency by allowing farmers to make planting decisions based on market conditions rather than government subsidies.

However, the Act did not have the objective of increasing interest rates charged to farmers or reducing prices to consumers.
