 Viewpoint
Freeman was all for helping developing countries improve their diets but he favored federal endeavors that would improve profitable markets for American farmers while encouraging farmers in much less developed areas of the world to seek commercial farming viability.
Freeman’s worst period was when a high-flying Texas entrepreneur, Billy Sol Estes, manipulated federal farm programs and fleeced taxpayers by cornering a segment of the farm chemicals market, largely, it was later demonstrated, through connivance with some USDA career bureaucrats, out to make a proverbial “killing” in the marketplace.
Orville Freeman will never be remembered as an “outstanding” secretary of agriculture but he was considerably more admirable and enduring than many and, indeed, a very capable and thoroughly estimable executive in every post in which he served in both politics and business.

Orville Freeman, as Secretary of Agriculture, confronts a dilemma that goes far beyond this one question.
In spite of bumper crops in the United States last summer, harvests beyond the dreams of the bad years of 1964-65 and 1965-66 in much of Asia, and new efforts to control population growth in India and elsewhere, there is still not enough food whee too many people live.
Indeed, there is evidence that the use of surplus grains to tide over nations with food shortages may even work to keep these countries from procuring the more fundamental assistance they require to help them help themselves build their own agriculture capability.
