Dan Yokum, 32, a southeastern Colorado rancher with 700 irrigated acres and 900 rented, says prices for his crops are the lowest in 44 years and debt has risen from about 50 000 to 300 000. He supports today’s nationwide farm strike and speaks from American Agriculture HQ in Springfield.
Mr. Yokum describes a grassroots, nonorganizational movement behind a national farm strike planned for today. He cites real earnings pressures despite good crops and dairy prices, and says farmers must unite to push the government to pay full support prices for all crops. He is traveling nationwide to rally farmers with AA drives.
