LOOKING AHEAD . .... to WHAT? 



^ \ 4 <>HAT is ahead for the boy who wants fo farm? 

 ^^y v/ Probably a surer living, certainly lots of 

 (f J hard work, undoubtedly more independence 

 than he will find in most other occupations, definitely 

 many problems and disappointments, but by no means 

 certain success. 



Farming has many hazards . . . but the risk of 

 sudden and drastic price declines overshadows all 

 others. The farmer may work hard and farm effi- 

 ciently, yet the precipitous drop in the price level can 

 over-night greatly reduce if not entirely wipe out his 

 income and copitoL 



The Farm Bureau recognizes as the greatest prob- 

 lem facing farmers that of stabilizing farm prices and 

 farm income. The present agricultural program is 

 supported by thinking organized farmers, not as some- 

 thing perfect and beyond improvement, but as the best 

 plan evolved out of many differences of opinion to 

 meet the complexities of an industry spread over 48 

 states and 6,000,000 farms. 



Every farmer owes it to himself as well as to the 

 generations of farmers to come to give his active sup- 

 port in behalf of this sincere effort to make farming a 

 better business and the farm a better place to live.
