SECOND SECTION
National Farmers Union
WantsFarmActExtension
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.—The
national convention of Farmers
Union unanimously adopted a
1965 Farm Act extension reso
lution today and directed that
it be presented at Tuesday’s
hearings of the House Agricul
ture Committee.
Tony T. Dechant, national
president, appointed Ben Rad
cliffe of Huron, S D , to take the
resolution 10 Washington and
present it on behalf of conven
tioji delegates.
Radchffe, who is vice chair
man of the farm organization’s
Executive Committee and presi
dent of South Dakota Farmers
Union, will make the national
organization’s appearance be
fore the committee.
“Farmers Union's position ex
pressed by delegate action in
special order of convention busi
ness,” it said, “is in support of
extension of the Food and Ag
riculture Act of 1965.”
President Johnson, who ad
dressed the convention earlier
in the day, again called for per
manent extension of the 1965
Farm Act this year.
The convention re s o lution,
adopted as a special order of
business, notes that extension of
the 1965 Farm Act will not solve
all of agriculture’s problems.
“Conversely,” it said, “fail
ure to extend the wheat, feed
grains, cotton and dairy pro
grams the act provides would
result in a loss in net farm in
come of up to $5 billion re
versing the progress since the
beginning of the past decade
when net farm income fluctu
ated around $ll billion.”
The resolution noted that the
delegates will adopt additional
policy statements dealing with
commodity program improve
ments needed in agriculture.
These, it said, will be made
available to Congressional Com
mittees
Chairman W. R (Bob) Poage,
of the House Agriculture Com
mittee, was on the platform
when the President addressed
the convention. Poage had set
up the March 18-19 hearings for
appearances by representatives
of leading farm organizations.
The resolution said farm fam
ilies need the committee’s help
in working for these objectives:
-Full 100% of parity price on
commercial family farm levels
of production.
-Full 100% parity price, we
believe would bring family
farmers within reach of the goal
of parity income
-New programs for many
commodities are needed to en
able farm families to balance
production with demand, includ
ing projected use under the pro
gram of Food for Freedom.
-Existing commodity pro
grams must be made more ef
fective in tailoring production
to demand.
-Means to giving farmers
more control over their econom
ic destiny must be developed.
