Max Bennett, an NFO
representative from the
national . office, concurred
with Charles’, statements
about the group's changing
tactics. “We Just don’t do
those things anymore,’’ he
said. “Those early holding

matured organization, we
can bargain in more civilized
ways.’’
According to Bennett,
NFO collective bargaining
has paid off with long-term
contracts with several
packing houses in the
Midwest. One such contract
was inked by Missouri Beef
Co. officials after a 52-day
hold out by NFO members in
1968. Today, the contract

Bennett said the NFO
objective in getting con
tracts is to assure farmers of
receiving a price that will
return the cost of production
plus a reasonable profit.
“We’re not saying the
middleman should get less,
or the packer should get less,
or the consumer should pay
more. All we’re saying is
that the farmer should get
more.”
