Glenn Henry, treasurer:
My speech is entitled, The
Farm Problem. In the begin
ning of my speech I discuss
the three farm problems
which are the lack of bal
lance m farming, the impact
of agricultural adjustment
on social institutions, and im
ballance between total output
and total demand for farm
products Later I discuss dif
ferent ways of getting rid
of the farm problem and I
conclude with my own ideas
of how to deal with the
problem
Glen Bncker, sentinel:
Since the prices of farm pro
ducts are going down be
cause of farm surplus, I try
to explain how the farmer
can make a profit from
grassland farming In my
speech, “Green Gold”, I
point out tlie example of the
cost to produce 100 pounds
of total digestible nutrients
from pasture at 70 cents
compared to the same am
ount from wheat at $2 5i3 I
stress the advantage of graz
ing aid feeding grass silage
John Henry Hess, chap
lain In my speech, “Coming
—Custom Built Packages ox
Technology”, I am trying to
give the farmers a picture of
the -changes the\ will likely
be making in order to con
tinue farming For example,
my speech points out that
the cost of fertilizer and pe
troleum products are likely
to register only slight ad
vances while farms with as
sets of 5200,000 to $500,000
ai6 going to become much
more common
Harold Myers, reporter,
“Bargaining Power” is one
of the big problems that the
farmers of today are work
ing on I point out how im
portant it is for the farmers
to stick together and
bargaining associations be
fore they can get the bar
gaining power they need so
badly
The cellophane bags con
taining carrots cost three
times as much as the farmer
got for the carrots
