Veto of the McNary–Haugen Farm Relief Bill

President Coolidge vetoed the McNary–Haugen Farm Relief Act, rejecting congressional proposals for federal price-support measures for agriculture.

The veto reaffirmed Coolidge's commitment to limited government and free-market principles, heightened tensions with struggling farmers, and influenced the 1928 campaign debate over farm policy.
