Farmers protest reassessment and wheat grading in Frederick County
The Frederick County Farmers Association met at the courthouse with President William J. Grove presiding to oppose any increase in farm land valuations in the approaching reassessment. The group urged members to join the Maryland Farm Federation and to petition Congressmen and Senators to seek a new grade for wheat. They cited garlicky labeling lowering prices by 10 to 20 cents per bushel and discussed grading reforms to improve Frederick County grain, urging letters to lawmakers.
