Farmers Union defies Bergland on parity policy at convention
Kansas City delegates to the National Farmers Union adopted a resolution for 100 percent parity despite Secretary Bergland urging dialogue and reforms. Bergland questioned if high parity fuels farm consolidation while union leaders defended price supports and urged limits to protect family-scale farms. The convention also backed farm cooperatives amid antitrust concerns and adjourned after four days of meetings.
