Grange Master reviews farm policies
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—ln his annual address at the
opening of 110th annual session of the National Grange here,
John W. Scott, Master, said that because of wise land use,
technology, capital and good management practices, family
farmers have made U.S. agriculture the most efficient in the
world. Consequently, the percentage of income spent for food
by the American consumer is the lowest in the world.
Scott said the present farm bill expires with the 1977 crop
and recommended the targe price concept plus non-recourse
loans should be retained as a cardinal principle in new farm
legislation. He said target prices should be increased yearly
to a figure near the total cost of production including a
reasonable charge for land. Scott said the Grange should also
restate its position on changing federal funding of meat in
spection from a 50 per cent-30 percent participation by the
federal government and the states to 80 per cent federal and
20 per cent state
A review of Fanners Home Administration legislation is
needed to provide more supervision of farm loans and more
farm ownership funds and operating funds, said-Scott. He
opposes legislation that puts the government in the business
of buying land and leasing it to young farmers.
Scott said a total energy policy is one of the most important
issues facing the nation today and blamed Congress for
failing to develop a long range policy. He said we must find
ways to make greater use of our coal supplies and increase
our use of nuclear energy.
On the subject of transportation, Scott predicted the
principles adopted in a new federal transportation act in
1978 will set the pattern for the future. He also said

agriculture is becoming more dependent on trucks for
moving products and that many states still impede the ef
ficiency of interstate movement of trucks. He called for
greater uniformity of state laws, regulations and licensing
requirements that affect truck transportation.
In addition, Scott called for increased funds for agriculture
research, continued support of the Farm Coalition, establish
ment of a National Labor Relations Board for agriculture
and amendments to the Occupational Safety and Health Law.
