Com WASHINGTON, D.C. - “The House of Reoresentatives should follow the example of the U.S. Senate in considering and com pleting its work on general farm legislation to replace the 1977 Food and Agriculture Act,” the NCGA President Bill Mullins recently stated in a letter to Mr. E. De La Garza, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture. In pressing for immediate House of Representatives action on general farm legislation, the NCGA farmer-president from Shabbona, Illinois, cited the im pact that high interest rates and persistent inflation have had on U.S. com farmers. While not completely satisfied with the Senate version of farm legislation, Bill Mullins stressed that a “realistic, workable and significant farm bill must be reached within the next few days to - continue the authorities for Polled Hereford^ The lop heifer is currently bred to S. Gilead 115, the 1977 national reserve champion. A 2%-year-old Enforcer 107 H son was named Grand Champion. FLF Masterpiece, owned by Falklands Farms and Busby Farm, Schellsburg, carried an impressive string of victories into the winner’s circle. FLF Masterpiece captured Grand Champion honors at the Ohio State and Virginia State fairs. More recently the bull was named reserve grand champion of the Keystone International. In addition to several individual class blue ribbons, Falklands Farm and co-owners claimed five champions by the day’s end. Their first champion arrived m the form of a heifer calf, sired by Enforcer. FLF Forcette 1003, a January 1981 calf, was dubbed champion heifer calf. Judge Gillooly chose a Falklands yearling heifer as junior champion heifer. The junior champ, FLF Forcette 0067 bested more than 45 entires for the title. Falklands Farm took Reserve Senior Champion honors with their 2- year-old heifer, FLF Forcette 950.

Reajran for signature into law, Mullins stated that “...this course • action would allow the Secretary of Agriculture to move ahead with confidence in im plementing the following programs for com,” which should include: Immediate and early entry of 1981 com into a farmer-held reserve not to exceed one billion bushels.
