affected our use of fertilizers
and pesticides as well as the
cost of tillage, harvesting,
and transporting our
products to market.
The latest proposal to tax
crude oil will add another 10
cents per gallon to our cost of
fuel, and who knows how
much to the other costs.
The admmstration’s policy
on increased interest rates
has nearly destroyed our
ability to borrow operating
money with any real hope of
repaying the loan. In many
cases credit is simply not
available to farmers through
agricultural suppliers.
Credit is just another
production tool and you are
pricing that tool out of our
reach.
In spite of lower farm
prices for what we sell, the
consumer is still paying top
price in the supermaket. For
example: In February of
1979 farm price for hogs was
56 cents per pound and pork
chops were retailed at $1.89
per pound. On April 7, 1980,
hogs were 30% cents per
pound and pork chops were
still $1.89 per pound. Why?
Since the Soviet embargo,
farm prices for soybeans
have plummeted $1.23 per
bushel. This indicates that
your promise to maintain
farm prices at pre-embargo
levels was hollow.
Your cheap grain policies
also do damage to all
segments of our livestock
economy. Cheaper grain
means cheaper feed which
stimulates overproduction of
pork, beef, milk, poultry and
eggs, which can further
depress farm income.

Even though things do not
look good at this point, we
feel that you can take some
actions to help the situation.
First, we want you, and
the entire USDA, to
adequately represent the
famers interest in the future
development of government
energy policies. This is
especially true m the area of
petroleum products. In other
words, speak up for the
American farmer.
Second, we want you to
investigate and publicize the
farm to consumer price
spread. We feel that it is
unfair for farmers to be
blamed when food prices
increase, and then use in
flation as an excuse not to
lower pnces to the consumer
when farm pnces go down.
In conjunction with this,
we believe that the com
modity marketing system
should be investigated. We
question whether the system
is being regulated properly.
Third, we feel that the
FmHA policies on
emergency loans need to be
changed. They should enable
the family farmer to have a
viable opportunity to
weather these crises, cased
by government policies.
We are proud to be part of
the most productive segment
of the American economy.
All we ask is that gover
nment policies give us the
opportunity to exercise our
abilities to feed the nation,
and make a living for our
families while we do it, the
farmers told Bergland.
