Negotiations urged to end agriculture trade war
An international forum of farmers and experts urged negotiations to end a trade war they say ruins growers globally. Delegates blamed U S farm policy for the conflict and called for world market sanity and international agreements to align production with demand. The two day gathering preceded the United Farmers and Ranchers Congress, expected to draw 1500 delegates.

Harkin says higher prices key to farm revival
Senator Tom Harkin told farmers at a Midwest tractorcade in Nebraska and Iowa that higher prices, not bigger exports, will solve farm problems. He criticized the 1985 farm bill, proposed the Save the Family Farm Act, and urged farm-state unity against fiscal policies he blamed for low commodity prices and a strong dollar. Nebraska Senator Exon joined in urging farm bill changes as rural Nebraska faces continued depressions.

Maine dairy protests gain momentum over low milk prices
Fairfield Maine farmers protest low prices after a milk dumping campaign spanning multiple states. John Korun reports milk from about 150 producers was dumped amid calls for higher prices while Keith Noyes notes several farms withhold or spill milk. Fortin says support grows as farmers plan to sustain action toward a $23.30 per hundredweight target, up from about $12.
