Kansas farmer replies to Woodcock meat price remarks
Kansas rancher M P Reeve fired back at United Auto Workers chief Leonard Woodcock after a national TV remark about higher wages tied to meat prices. Reeve bought an ad in the Detroit News stating farmers buy many auto parts and tractors but he favors American-made goods. He operates about 6,000 acres with 1,500 cattle and uses mostly U S trucks and tractors, all American. He blames higher meat prices on a severe winter and says the livestock market should remain free and unregulated.
