Hardin urges bipartisan front for farmers at Grange meeting
Agriculture Secretary Clifford Hardin told the National Grange convention in Charleston that farming needs a united bipartisan approach to lift the sector. He warned unrest exists but is overstated and predicted Nixon would win rural votes in 1972 if reelected. Hardin said only aid bill not yet law is expanding federal loan programs for young farmers and cited no wage increase in 11 years. He resigns for a better offer to join Ralston Purina on farm exports, urging continued export growth up to 10 billion dollars this decade, with some benefiting farmers. The convention runs through Tuesday with social events amid business sessions.
