NASDA sponsored the conference m cooperation with the National Agricultural Marketing officials. Its goal was to develop a food and tran sportation program that defines and solves specific problems. Kerstetter noted that Gov. Milton J. Shapp’s in volvement with tran sportation problems over the years, specifically with the problem of bankrupt mergers and his own proposals for financing through bond sales rather than government handouts, has made this ad ministration sensitive to transportation issues. The conference addressed itself to all modes of tran sportation - rail, air, trucks and water. John W.

The May Farm Line will give special emphasis to the Deep South and Delta region of the country. Although the toll-free number is available anywhere in the continental U.S., the program is con centrated in a new area of the country each month to keep call volume at a manageable level. E. L. “Shug” Hatcher, a wheat and beef producer from Lamar, Colorado. During its April Farm line on Estate Taxes, ACA received a capacity number of calls, averaging ap proximately 20 per line for each 'hour of operation. Phones rang constantly during this period reflecting the high level of interest in the issue. “We feel interest in the problems of ‘young farmers’ will be equally strong,” Hatcher said. “With the average age of the American farmer running in excess of 50 years, it is definitely a matter for serious discussion and at tention.” A total of seven WATS lines are in operation in the ACA office. Calls made at any time other than the specified hours of noon to 4:00 p.m. E.D.T. on May 26 will reach a busy signal. “The purpose of the Farm line is not to advocate any particular position but to provide a periodic forum for the discussion of important agricultural issues,” ac cording to ACA Chairman, “We hope as many people as possible at the grassroots level will take this op portunity to express their views to a unique panel representing many different vantage points,” Hatcher commented. The Agriculture Council of America, formed in 1973, is made up of about 1,000 in dividual farmers and 350 companies and organizations. Its purpose is to improve communication between farmers and con sumers.
