Parity dispute splits farmers over 100 percent goals
In Omaha, Secretary Bergland says federal funds cannot guarantee 100 percent parity for farm products. He outlines two funded paths: raise loan rates to five dollars for wheat and three fifty for corn, or keep loans and spend about fifteen billion in direct treasury payments. Proponents of a Dec. 14 strike, led by American Agriculture, push for full parity or quit farming. Tractors from Garnett and Mound City moved toward Topeka for a rally, meeting delays and disappointment over Franklin County tractors.
