Agri Day urges classroom learning from former secretaries
Washington AP government plans for the 10th Agriculture Day on March 21 include a petition by former agriculture secretaries urging schools to teach more about the food system. Signers include John R. Block and seven predecessors. President Reagan may appear, with Block at a National Press Club luncheon and afternoon USDA exhibits to the public. The event, backed by the Agriculture Council of America and the National Agriculture Day Steering Committee, aims to highlight U S food production amid farm income and export pressures. Soil erosion concerns were raised by Peter Myers of the Soil Conservation Service, stressing conservation tillage to curb losses of up to 150 tons per acre per year on some farms.
