The problem agriculture is
facing today actually began when
President Ford decided to put an
embargo on gramshipments to the
Soviet Union in 1975. The reason be
gave was that we had high food
prices in the U.S.
Later, President Carter decided

to use the shipment of food and
grams to the Soviet Union as a
weapon against their invasion of
Afghanistan. Reagan is now using
the shipment of these items to
Poland as a weapon. So it's small
wonder that other countries have
decided that if U.S. can use the
shipments of those commodities as
a club over the head of someone,
why can’t they do the same thing.
For example. Mainland China
has told us if we continue to sell
military planes to Taiwan, they
will not honor the five year con
tract they tiave with us for the
purchase of various grains. India
has also decided they could use it
as a weapon against us by
threatening to cut off the purchase
of various grains from the United
States if we continue to sell
weapons to Pakistan. "
Can we criticize them when we
are-doing the same thing? Also,
can we fault the Russians when
they indicate they would rather not
have us as their mam scource of
supply?
Another tragic example is
Japan. It is the largest single
importer ot U.S. agricultural
products. The volume of purchases
from the U.S. exceeds 7 billion
dollars, about 15 percent of the
total U.S. agricultural exports.
Two-thirds of the dollar volume is
gram—primarily corn, soybeans

and wheat.
At Chicago in July of last year, a
panel discussion was held between
the U.S. and Japanese concerning
the future of .'U.S./Japan
agricultural trade. Secretary of
Agriculture Block as well as
Ambassador Yostuo Okawara of
Japan were in attendahice.
The most interesting point made
by the panel members—from
Japan—and in particular Eishi
Ueno, Agricultural' Attache, ‘ was
the point about U.S. gram embargo
against Russia. The Japanese
viewed-this «quite negatively and
openly stated that as a result of
this action they, the. Japanese,
would work to. become less
dependent on U.S. agricultural
commodities.
The point was made em
phatically and repeatedly that the
percent of Japanese purchase of
gram from the U.S. will decline.
They did not consider us a reliable
source of supply because'we use
gram shipments as a weapon m
cold war diplomacy.
Somehowor another the United
States Department of State and the
Department of Agriculture must
get their act together. Surely, they
realize what a tragic blow to the -
farmers of this country their ac
tions and in some inactions are
causing. And the farmer’s plight in
this mess is only the tip of the
iceberg. Obviously, nothing
happens until the farmer grows or
raises something, be it wheat,
corn, soybeans, nee, cattle or
hogs.
I don't think must people realize
that agriculture is this country’s
