American Farm Bureau Federation President Charles B. Shuman says the National Farm Policy Conference convened by Secretary Orville Freeman stems from fear of cuts to farm programs and a shift away from government stock controls. He argues Congress must decide farm policy, not the cabinet, and calls for reducing subsidies to free funds for budget relief while opposing international grain cartels and the Kennedy round limits on imports.
