Farming movement faces strain amid wheat price rise and dissent
In Springfield Colorado the American Agriculture movement shows signs of internal conflict as farmers defect from the 100 percent parity goal. Wheat production is forecast down 16 percent nationwide while prices have risen from 1.76 to 2.49 a bushel. Leaders debate shifts toward alleged corporate plots behind cheap food policy. Gene Schroder and Bud Bitner are highlighted as influential figures amid the drift toward conservatism. Farmers anticipate renewed activism and potential tractorcades in Washington if parity remains unsatisfied.
