Grange resolutions decided GREENSBORO,N.C. - National Grange delegates passed a resolution last week regarding proposed USDA set-aside regulations in the new farm bill. The farm organization called for the regulations to be written to permit grazing of set-aside land at the same time as other crop land is grazed and that livestock be removed from set-aside acreage when they are normally removed from crop acreage. The delegates said the current regulations restrict the use of this acreage so that normal grazing would require expensive tem poraryfencing. The delgates sent a telegram to the Senate Agriculture Committee in support of providing all-risk, all-county and all-producer crop insurance. In addition, they recommended _ the Commodity Credit Cor poration charter be amended to provide adequate funding flexibility, and that provisions be made for farmer-elected com mittee program ad ministration, government cost-sharing of premium and administrative costs of at least the current net ex penditure level, individual farmer cost of production coverage based on the farmer’s own production record, and offer op portunities for private in surance carriers to par ticipate in federal crop in surance where feasible. The delegates also voted to support the following: Legislation which would require the reporting and publicizing of foreign in vestments in agricultural land; establishment of cooperative processing and marketing facilities for all agricultural products; changes in the disaster loan program that would permit repayment privileges up to 10 years and with a provision for repayment mortatorium when conditions justify; adequate funding for Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service. The Grangers also took action on resolutions to oppose any land purchase programs that mvolve the government as the pur chaser and lessor of far mlands; any action that would modify the Capper- Volstead Act; and the ex pansion of services by the Farmers Home Ad ministration and Farm Cedit Administration into other lines of financing, until agricultural needs are met. 17
