Letter from John B. Uhle to Theodore Roosevelt
John B. Uhle was surprised by Theodore Roosevelt’s comments in a recent article in The New York Times. In the article, Roosevelt claimed he was unable to speak on how farmers are attempting to gain part of middlemen’s profits. Uhle states farmers are using cooperation as their strategy, but this is not the correct course. Uhle believes the primary purpose of farming is supplying the consumer, not raising food. According to Uhle, the food distribution system needs to be reorganized, and this should not be the responsibility of the farmer.
