LMA went on to note that its “Freedom in Livestock Marketing” campaign “is in sharp contrast to controls, regulations and restric tions,” and called upon USDA to adopt “a realistic policy of freedom, self determination and in dependence throughout all elements of the livestock marketing sector.” Such a policy should be im plemented, the statement said, “by cancellation of those "devices, regulations Better P SAME built the first full diesel engine farm tractor in 1927 Today every SAME tractor is powered by a dependable economical SAME air-cooled diesel SAME was first with a 5-cylmder diesel engine in a tractor It powers the Panther 95 (shown) and the Jaguar 95 Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 16,1980-C45 and policy statements which impose the restrictions they do on diversification, multi ple ownership and marketing enterprise throughout the entire livestock and meat in dustry.” The “Freedom” campaign was instrumental in the 1978 deregulation of livestock marketing rates and tariffs.

An extensive economic feasibility study was con ducted in 1970 and 1971 by the Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology Department of Ohio State University.
