Linn County Farm Bureau Pushes Direct Protein Allocation
Linn County Farm Bureau directors demand immediate direct distribution of at least 50 percent of meat from soybean linseed and cottonseed processors through the Commodity Credit Corporation to livestock dairy and poultry producers. They cite protein feed shortages and oppose lowering mixed feed protein as a conservation solution. They also challenge school bus route cuts amid transport conservation, urging focus on duplication of service by beer soft drink and other trucks.
