Oren Lee Staley of the National Farmers Organization says a grain holding action by Jan. 17 will be followed by meat and dairy actions. He asserts the aim is fair contracts to relieve cost-price squeeze, not to starve consumers, and calls on antitrust tests to Let the Secretary of Agriculture influence farm price increases.
