NW IL | I heard someone give a talk about this recently. They said it was partly politically motivated, worried that the rural folks would rise up and had too much power in general.
The same person said he was a gov't auditor in the 1980's and caught several banks selling out farmers with good cashflow while letting the one's in trouble go because the banks wanted the cash from selling assets.
Here's the talk. You might disagree with some of the end conclusions but the beginning talks about the Program of the 1960's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zFc4Xvco0c | |
