Farmers press for influence in southern primary vote
Arlington Texas farmer Larry Mitchell joins farm activists in the American Agriculture Movement as drought and mounting debt push farmers toward a unified stance ahead of the March 8 14 state Southern Regional Primary. The drive targets changes in federal policy amid criticism of the Reagan era program. Mitchell travels to Washington to lobby while other farmers weigh Gephardt Harkin proposals versus Du Ponts free market approach, seeking relief before potential bankruptcy.
