Meat imports and cattle prices eyed by Illinois farmers
Meat imports rose sharply in 1962 yet fed cattle prices stayed strong with Chicago steer prices averaging 27.67 per hundred pounds. Factors dimming beef demand included dock and newspaper strikes, weak advertising, and high winter costs. Domestic red meat and poultry output rose, while import growth outpaced gains in production. An upcoming Production Credit Association meeting in Charleston will mark its 30th anniversary with talks on rural tax relief and local entertainment.

Illinois Farm Bureau Adopts Broad Policy Agenda
Illinois Farm Bureau members at the Nov 21 policy meeting rejected deficit financing by the state government and backed cash sales of agricultural goods to any buyer if beneficial to the United States. They urged Congress to set foreign trade policy, opposed state and public building debt, and supported funding for rural electrification, pesticides education, tax reforms, and clearer highway and public school financing. The long list covers foreign trade, legislation, audit of township funds, junior college study, child labor, and constitutional amendments on taxes and legislative sessions.
