gone down, but bread prides
continue to rise.”
Included in the ag
secretary’s address was a
warning to fanners about
escalating Socila Security
costs. Citing statistics and
economists predictions,
Shelhamer noted that there
is a rapidly growing number
of pensioners in the general
population.
“Senior citizens now make
up the largest single block of
voting power in this country.
And the lobbying for higher
pensions will continue to
intensify as the cost of living
keeps climbing,*’ said
Shelhamer. He predicted
that the rate of Social
Security deductions will
escalate from the present 11
per cent to 22 per cent
eventually. Magnifying the
problem is a zooming decline
in the national birth rate,
now at 1.2 per cent, but
projected to drop below the
zero growth rate.
“There will be more
pensioners drawing out of
the fund, but fewer young
workers paying in. We’re
headed for a approaching
labor deficit market,
probably by 1985.”
“Fanners are dreamers,”
concluded Shelhamer.
“They always believe what
they do today will bring them
