Solid programs advocated
HONOLULU, Hawaii
Charles B. Shuman, former
president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation
said here recently that “it is
better to go down in defeat
supporting a sound policy
position than to accept a
compromise with an un
sound position.”
Shuman warned the Farm
Bureau members of the
danger of over-playing the
“nice-guy” role. “Farm
Bureau leaders are nice
people and they want to be
liked by others. This is what
many well-meaning folks
describe as good public
relations.
“However, the preoc
cupation with being a “nice
guy” sometimes leads to

weakness and defeat in the
tough political action battles
in which Farm Bureau is
engaged. Farm Bureau, said
the former AFBF president,
“can become more effective
in coping with changed
conditions by learning how to
fight effectively for sound
policies.”
“In Farm Bureau we have
often been too ready and
willing to compromise. We
have fogotten that there can
be no compromise between
right and wrong economic
issues just as there can be no
compromise between good
and evil,” Shuman said.
The agricultural scene will
continue to change, just as it
always has changed. As it

needs that result from

“The more unsolved
problem that affects prac
tically every farm and ranch
family in America is
marketing. This remains the
challenge of Farm Bureau.
There is no possibility that
the marketing problems will
be solved by other
organizations or by the
government,” Shuman said.
Shuman emphasized the
importance of service-to
member programs in Farm
Bureau. The relationship
between the service com
panies and the organization
are generally healthy, he
said, but he warned: “There

is danger that the policies of
the organization will be
unduly influenced by the
service personnel and the
needs of affiliated com
panies. In too many counties,
he said, “the task of new
member solicitation has
been placed on service
personnel. This is a poor
substitute for farmer
member contacts with
nonmember neighbors.”
Unlike compact tractors with add-on loaders, the Case loaders are designed

Case patented loader bucket linkage provides a positive power stroke for roll
back and break out, and a speed stroke for dumping. This results in
steadier bucket control, greater bucket load and faster dumping action The
exclusive linkage also delivers a greater operating arc for maximum
roll back at grade level and more than 45* dump angle at any level

Granges begin forum
Over 5,500 local chapters of the Grange, the country’s
oldest farm organization and rural family fraternity, have
begun a Grange Issues Forum, a series of discussion
programs designed to keep its membership up-to-date and
involved with national legislative activities.
Among the topics to be examined throughout the year are
farm and food policies, land use planning, world food
problems, soil and water conservation, tax laws, national
health insurance and energy.
Local Granges have been advised of the availability of
resource material both from the National Grange and
government agencies. They will also contact local in
dividuals, agencies and Congressiohal delegations for ad
ditional input.
The Grange is a grass roots organization which means its
national legislative policies and programs are developed at
the local level. There are over 500,000 members throughout 41
states.
