Farmer protest poorly
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Protesting
farmers won little encouragement
yesterday from congressional and ad
ministration leaders for their demands
for a major boost in crop price supports.
One disgruntled group disrupted a
farm organization office and others
drove a parade of tractors through late
morning traffic while leaders of the
American Agriculture Movement were
conferring for the first time with
Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland.
Later, another group of spokesmen for
the loosely organized AAM met with
Chairman Tom Foley, D-Wash., of the
House Agriculture Committee.
Bergland reiterated his refusal to
consider raising farm price supports to
90 percent of parity, which would have
the effect of raising the price farmers
receive for corn, wheat and other crops
by an estimated two-thirds.
Bergland said he did not plan any
changes in the present price support
system for at least two years.
Foley, a spokesman said, told the
AAM delegation he did not think this
Congress would pass a bill directing
Bergland to pay 90 percent parity.
Foley told them he believed many
urban members the majority of
Congress are greatly concerned about
inflation and food prices and were not
prepared to take any action on raising
parity.
The chairman added it was Kis per
sonal opinion farmers needed more
incentives to participate in federal farm
programs.

Farm movement leader Lee Scheufler
said after the session Foley “is still not
supportive of any action by his com
mittee on 90 percent of parity.”
The farmers planned a tractorcade
today around the Federal Reserve of
fices to underline their discontent with
current high interest rates.
During yesterday’s demonstration, a
small group of farmers had forced their
way into the American Farm Bureau
Federation, the nation’s largest farm
organization.
Bureau officials charged they threw
plants out of windows, plastered farm
movement bumper stickers on the walls
and ground out their cigars in the car
pets.
The group left before police arrived.
No arrests were reported.
About 230 tractors joined a late
morning parade from the farmers’
“Tractortown” encampment on the
Mall, moving two abreast down Penn
sylvania Avenue past the farm bureau
building and then on to the Department
of Agriculture.
Spokesmen for the American
Agriculture Movement accused the farm
bureau of representing “the processors
and middlemen” and opposing the 90
percent parity the AAM demonstrators
are lobbying for on Capitol Hill.
In Chicago, AFBF president Allen
Grant said, “The problems of farmers
aren’t going to be solved by wrecking
crews that take the law into their own
hands. The problems of agriculture need

The tractorcade, through melting
snow and slush from the city’s first
major snowstorm of the season Wed
nesday, disrupted some downtown
traffic. Under agreement with city and
National Park police, the tractors stay
off the streets during rush hours.
Bergland, who has not gone to his
Agriculture Department office since the
farmers arrived in the city Monday, met
with five AAM leaders at the Executive
Office Building close to the White House.
He said the meeting was “relaxed and
friendly” although the farmers”
spokesmen disagreed with his opposition
to 90 percent parity as the base for crojp
price supports.
Bergland said “there are good people
in considerable trouble,” but the far
mers want a fundamental change
“which we’re not prepared to support
yet.”
He added he would not support any
changes until farm policy comes under
review in two years.
The secretary said if he had to do it
again he would repeat his words which
angered farmers and farm state
congressmen: that some of the AAM
protesters were driven by “just old
fashioned greed.”
Other farm spokesmen were on
Capitol Hill, attending committee
hearings on the farm budget and lob
bying members for higher crop sup
ports.
We are proud of you!
