Robertson targeted by Virginia peanut grower leader
George B. Ligon of the Association of Virginia Peanut and Hog Growers criticized Senator A Willis Robertson in a prepared statement here. He urged voters in the Democratic primary to consider Robertson's farm voting record, citing 1959 resistance to a price support limit and opposition to a cotton price bill, tying these to losses for Virginia growers and contrasting action on a New York bank bill.
