Agriculture as Asset Urges Madison Officials
American Soybean Association president Roger Asendorf urged Madison officials to treat agriculture as an asset, not a liability, noting exports exceeded imports by 19.5 billion in 1983 and farm sector accounts for about a quarter of U.S. jobs. Scott Shearer of the National Corn Growers Association warned of budget cuts to USDA programs, while farmers urged active involvement in farm policy as hearings and legislation move through 1985–86.
