Jimmy Carter says he can almost guarantee that
American agriculture will be solidly represented at
world food fairs in upcoming years. That has not
been the case thus far. The President says he
wants to expand such promotional programs,
thereby giving American farmers the opportunity
to market more of their products in foreign lands.

siderations as to why
Americans should favor the
Carter Administrations
treaty regarding the
Panama Canal. Noting that
a fifth on this country’s
agricultural aborts move
through the Canal, Wyrough
said he does not see any
danger of American
agribusiness losing this
waterway. The treaties, he
affirmed, give assurance of
that. The group of editors,
however, was reluctant to
buy that and asked for proof
or guarantees. That
prompted Wyrough's con
cluding statement - “It is not
practical to look for cer
tainties.”
Speaking about the latest
developments at OSHA - that
much maligned agency
which concerns itself with
health and safety on the
farm, as well as in industry
and elsewhere - Harrison
Wellford reported that the
Administration is placing
greater emphasis on major
health hazards and less on
small safety concerns.
Wellford, who works as
executive associate director
for reorganization and
management in the Office of
Management and Budget,
also said that government
reorganization will continue
to take shape. It’s feasible
that some agricultural
agencies will be merged in
the future, although that’s
not yet definite.
One of the questions which
was on the farm editors’
minds was whether or not
the U S State Department is
getting a larger role in
agriculture. Katz answered
that question with the
words “No, it hasn’t
changed a bit ” It was
noted,however, that two of
six speakers (not including
President Carter and USDA
Secretary Bergland) were
from the State Department.
Two more were from the
Office of Management and
Budget, while the others had
connections with
During an early afternoon
meeting with President
Carter, the farm editors

learned that Carter favors
increased agricultural trade
and is looking particularly
at Red China. He expressed
strong willingness to give
American agriculture more
exposure, world-wide.
Talking to the editors just a
day after he signed the 1977
Farm Bill, the President
expressed general
satisfaction with the
measure. “I didn’t have any
reluctance about signing
he stated.
The President commented
that he didn’t think his
support among American
farm families was varying
much, adding: “I do think
that the new legislation I
have helped to provide will
be an indication that the
farm families can trust me,
not only to understand their
problems but to carry out
my campaign com
mitments.”
Adding a little humor to
the half-hour meeting, the
President at one point
remarked: “When I wasn’t
m office, I used to cuss the
President and Secretary of
Agriculture when my crop
was poor. And when it was
good, of course I didn’t give
the President and the
Secretary of Agriculture any
credit for it. I figured it was
because of me.”
“I don’t think any of our
polling results indicate that I
have lost support in the
Farm Belt. The farmers are
disturbed, and I am
disturbed as well. We have
had a complete total failure
