Farm lessons seen in U.S.
NZPA staff correspondent Washington The Government should take note of the way the United States has phased in farm law during the last three years, according to the National member of Parliament for Kaimai, Mr Bruce Townshend. President Reagan, in signing the bill, had identified the parallel problems which United States and New Zealand farmers shared and the impact of agriculture on the total economy, Mr Townshend said from Lincoln, New Hampshire, yesterday.
“Recognising the need to move more slowly to a market-related economy, the collective wisdom of Congress and the White House has set a three-year transitional programme for agriculture, which New Zealand would be wise to follow. “The President’s statement that if things are bad down on the farm, business does not go well in the towns and cities applies equally to New Zealand,” •• Mr Townshend said. He is on a private visit to the United States.
