NFO Holds National Convention
“ We’ve two big jobs to do,”
NFO President Oren Lee Staley
told 12,000 delegates and mem
bers as they headed home from
the organization’s annual con
vention in Kansas City, Missouri,
recently.
Delegates attending the con
vention from Lancaster and
Chester Counties included:
Leland Stanford, Winfield Trego
and Maria Trego.
Staley called on NFO members
to urge every individual farmer
in America to enlist in one, great
common effort to finish getting
agriculture organized and to
TELL US NOW... before any of your equipment gives out
and socks you with expensive downtime. As soon as you
anticipate trouble, let us know. We’ll have the right replace
ment parts on hand when your whatchamacallit konks out
completely. Just a simple phone call could keep a minor
repair job from tying up your whole operation. You can
help us to serve you better.

In his State of Affairs message
to the convention, Staley warned
members of the threat of
conglomerate and vertical in
tegration takeover of agriculture.
He said the NFO would seek
alliances with other groups who
want a change from America’s
drift toward corporate
domination of both economic and
social affairs.
“We are in a fight against
powerful forces,” he said “It
must be won It can be won if we
have the courage to demonstrate,
to use holding actions, to demand
just prices—to build a Collection,
Dispatch and Delivery System so
powerful that the handlers and
processors have to pay fair prices
for their needs
During Friday’s business
session, Staley, of Rea, Missouri,
was re-elected president of the
organization. “It’s up to you in
’72,” he told the convention in his
acceptance remarks.
DeVon Woodland of Blackfoot,
Idaho, was elected vice
president, succeeding Erhard
Pfingsten of Sergeant Bluff,
lowa, who has served in this
capacity since 1962. Pfingsten
was not a candidate for re
election, but will continue to
speak and work for the NFO
cause a considerable share of his
time
Woodland operates a 340 acre
irrigated family farm. He has
served in the NFO in a number of
capacities, including Idaho state
president and national director
from the state for four years
