Angry Young Men Lead Another NFO Boycott Across Midwest
The National Farmers Organization led by Oren Lee Staley mobilizes a new boycott aiming to raise prices by withholding grain livestock and dairy from markets. Members pay dues, sign three year contracts, and authorize NFO to block sales until processors agree. The movement echoes 1960s protests and seeks to pressure firms to pay farmers fairly. Des Moines convention drew thousands as NFO expands nationwide.
