A national survey of 1,174 adults, conducted by the New York Times/CBS Poll, found that 55% would pay higher federal taxes to help the nation’s farmers save their land, a 14% increase from a year ago.

The poll showed wide awareness of farm problems, with five of six Americans believing that at least half of the nation’s farmers are facing serious economic difficulties.
