Meeting with the Secretary
Tuesday, the council presented
Secretary Butz with a resolution
that also urged his “continued
objective support of the
American beef industry and
American agriculture in
general”.
C. D. Swaffar, president of the
council and also executive
secretary of the American
Shorthorn Association said “I
have never witnessed a Secretary
of Agriculture give such strong,
dedicated support to American
Agriculture as has been exhibited
by Secretary Butz. He has
demonstrated his depth of
knowledge of the beef cattle and
agricultural industry and has
show his willingness to defend
them.”
The last few weeks have been
extrememly difficult for the beef
producer, who today is receiving
the same dollars for his product
as he did 20 years ago, council
members said. Yet, Secretary
Butz has kept his ground, relating
the real reasons for alleged high
meat prices and placing the
blame for those prices where it
belongs—on the middleman and
his rising labor costs.
The resolution presented the
Secretary of Agriculture read:
