Farm Bureau Leaders Seek Congress Support
Ninety eight farmers from eighty eight Illinois counties traveled to Washington to urge Congress to back Farm Bureau positions on farm labor marketing and export markets. They pressed for national legislation tailored to agriculture and quick remedies to prevent crop losses from strikes and boycotts. They urged expansion of research on corn blight and supported responsible pollution controls and fair practices under the Agricultural Fair Practices Act. The eight annual Farmers To Washington program was sponsored by the Illinois Agricultural Association and state Farm Bureau.
