Bergland reassures cattlemen on imports
Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland told reporters at Wilmington College that the administration aims to keep beef industry prosperity despite higher imports. President Carter announced a 15 percent rise in beef imports for the year, adding 200 million pounds mainly as hamburger to supplement 1.3 billion pounds allowed under voluntary agreements. The move drew criticism from cattle producers who fear rising prices amid debt and four years of losses.
