Implications of Changing Farm Structure in Cache Valley: Policy and Regulation

Array ( [0] => HONR Think Tank Spring 2016 [1] => no-show [2] => student exhibit )

Policy and Regulation

Cliff Lillywhite discusses the importance of tax policy to the viability of his business and then discusses the impact of other regulation.

Farm policy falls into three categories: subsides, food safety regulation, and environmental and labor law. Farm policy is often structured to affect family farms differently from industrial farms or to shield smaller farms from the burden of onerous regulation that larger farms are better-prepared to comply with.
