Agriculture Officials to Defend Market Reports Before Congress
Washington AP Officials from the Agriculture Department said they will go before Congress to defend the accuracy of their market reports on meat animals. The National Farmers' Organization has accused the reports of errors amid a campaign to withhold cattle hogs and sheep to push prices higher. The department reported a modest drop in marketings in week one of the campaign and a rebound in hogs in week two. NFO disputes these figures. Representative Clarence Cannon asked Secretary Freeman to review the matter. Director Pettus said past complaints exist but field studies show sales volumes are fairly accurate.
