Extract

While attempting to quantify and examine the distribution of payments from the 1968 Upland Cotton Program, some comparisons will be made of the distributive aspects of previous cotton programs.

Economists have long been concerned with the impact of government farm programs, but have focused much of their attention on resource use and aggregate returns under alternative programs. At the same time, it has been recognized that farm programs, through income transfers, had certain distributive impacts. One of the first and most comprehensive studies of the distribution of benefits from certain farm programs was conducted by James T. Bonnen.
