Farmers and Labor Seek Common Ground in 1963 Iowa
In Muscatine in May 1963 letters to the editor reflect on seminars where Labor, the National Farmers Union, and the Grange discussed farm and labor problems. Ed O Neal of the National Farm Bureau is cited on marketing agreements and price supports, contrasting NFO proposals with past leadership. The piece urges farmers to engage with multiple groups, understand production costs, and reconsider what constitutes friends and enemies in farming politics.
