Reader backs American Agriculture Movement plan
A letter to the editor from March 31 in Eau Claire discusses the American Agriculture Movement AAM plan alleging it costs little in tax money and could be implemented through USDA offices. The writer argues setaside and parity proposals affect consumer food spending and cites Mondale Bergland and Baldus as refusing open farmer meetings.

Setaside plan questioned as drain on treasury in 1978 article
The 1978 Country Today reports require farmers to set aside 20 percent of 1978 corn acreage to receive payments. It allows idle land and nonpenalization for poor land. A 1977 Grace & Co forecast notes increased fertilizer use as wheat and corn acreage shrink. The writer asks if the program will reduce grain surpluses and calls the plan a political gimmick and treasury drain.
