Grayson Urged to Support
Farm Price Exemption
Farm cooperative leader
Kenneth D. Naden asked Price
Commission Chairman C.
Jackson Grayson to clarify for
consumers why farm prices are
exempt from controls.
“We urge you to explain
again,” said Naden, executive
vice president of the National
Council of Farm Cooperatives,
“that farm prices are exempt for
the sound reason they are subject
to severe price competition.”
This competition, Naden
asserted, subjects farm prices to
a form of control that’s far more
effective and beneficial to con
sumers than that imposed in any
other sector of the economy, or
by government.
Naden’s letter was in response
to remarks made by Grayson
recently. In them, Grayson
labeled Secretary of Agriculture
Butz’s support of higher farm
prices as being “damaging to the
stabilization program.”
The farm co-op leader con
trasted higher food prices with
higher utility prices recently
approved by the Price Com
mission. He said farmers

couldn’t understand why support
for higher food prices is con
sidered a sin, but support for
higher utility prices is not, when
both could be justified by rising
costs and better consumer ser
vice.
Naden said that farmers hope
Grayson will repeat his ad
monition that consumers can’t
“get something for nothing” in
either better utility service or
wholesome, safe food.
Recent cyclical highs in cattle
prices were also covered by
Naden. He said farmers don’t
consider an unplanned increase
in live cattle prices, back up to a
level of 20 years ago, to be a
“catch up.”
“This rise,” asserted Naden,
“is not at all comparable to the
planned year-after-year
escalation of wage rates and
industrial prices, based upon
substantial market power.” The
fact that current live cattle prices
are now nearer a fair level, he
said, should not distort con
sumers’ judgement about the
benefits of the system that
produced it.

best!
Liming pays off in healthier soil,
better crops, stronger and more
productive animals. In fact, it has
been estimated that each $1 in
vested in limestone returns from $3
to $lO in bigger and better yields.
Baker’s agricultural limestone pays
off best because it does more. It
sweetens soil to reduce acidity and
raise pH level, and it also adds vital
magnesium. Both are important to
make sure that your crops can make
full use of the fertilizers you apply.
Take care of your land, and your
land will take care of you. Choose
the brand of Baker’s agricultural
limestone that meets your needs.
