‘ NFO’s intentions declared at
the national convention plus the
cuirent activity has already
caused consideiable strengthen
ing in the hog market ”
Potter concluded, “And as the
main thrust of the Hog-Lift gets
underway, NFO members recog
nize that they are waging a battle
for the survival of the commer
cial family farm and that the
NFO production block is their
security for the future, and they
will not betray themselves by i
being suckered into selling out
