Move To Reduce Government Control For Farms
CHICAGO The American Farm Bureau Federation board voted to push a convention approved program for gradually reducing government controls over farming. The 22 member board representing about 1.6 million rural families will act on resolutions from the closing session of the five day meeting. The plan seeks less control over corn farmers, a test on wheat marketing quotas, and higher soil bank payments for land retired from crops. Charles B. Shuman and Walter L. Randolph were reelected president and vice president respectively. The group will present the program to Congress next month and urge broader conservation participation.
