Kenneth Nienhuser of Sidney and Alfred Marande of York were reelected as co officers. Bloyd Herman of Wilber named state delegate to the national convention to be held March 14 18 in New Jeans.

The convention urged lower interest on drying and storage facility vans and urged Congress to advance bonding of packers. Tony Dechant of Denver noted the coming national food policy challenge. Minnesota Farmers Union leader Cy Carpenter urged use of farmers tools to influence decisions. Policy adoption followed a 40 member statewide committee led by Floyd Herman.
