Washington Farm Bureau Officers Switch Jobs
In Washington Tuesday, Bill Norman was elected secretary and Jim Miksch moved to treasurer, succeeding Dennis Berger. President Edwin Augustine, vice-president Robert Shepherd, and voting delegate Doyle Jarrard were re-elected. The group urged export restrictions only in a national emergency and grain reserves held by the private sector. They backed a three year recourse loan plan for corn, 1.60 to 1.90 per bushel, plus support for home rule, dam replacement, school financing via income tax, estate tax reform, and an investment tax credit for soil conservation. They urged 24 hour advance notice from utilities for livestock facilities and opposed plea bargaining and a new state legislative office building.

The plan ends the Mayaguez processing loophole that exempted some shipments from quotas and drew cattlemen’s protests. Rep. Poage disclosed Australia’s offer to drop the non counting position on the Mayaguez processing.
