WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a recent column in the Des Moines Register, professor Don Coursey argued that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act could have consequences for America's farmers.
"In the rush to prevent another crisis, it has cast its net too wide," Coursey, Ameritech Professor of Public Policy Studies at the Harris School of the University of Chicago, writes. "As a result, Dodd-Frank could make risk management significantly more costly for America's farmers, driving up volatility in the market and potentially leading to huge price increases for consumers."
Coursey argues that regulators need to give themselves more time to study the effects the regulatory measures of Dodd-Frank will have governing agricultural commodities. You can read the full piece here.
