NFO Expands Farm Price Drive With Meat Boycott
The National Farmers Organization plans a second phase of its all commodity action by adding meat to its market boycott to pressure higher prices. President Oren Lee Staley says the program aims to unite farmers to bargain as a group, with a target of 32 cents a pound for beef, 23 cents for hogs, and 29 cents for sheep, as grain gains earlier indicated some impact but overall prices remain volatile. The movement, now in 35 states, seeks to extend the withholding to dairy and other commodities in coming steps.
