Rural Crime Surge Hits Farms Across America
AP report notes rising rural crime from Indiana to New Mexico with cattle rustling and farm equipment theft. FBI data show rural crime per 100 000 rising from 423 in 1960 to 2012 in 1977, narrowing urban rural gaps. Violence remains lower, but youths in home counties commit most offenses as tractors and tools disappear.

Winn Defends Prairie Bill At Farm Bureau Meeting
Rep. Larry Winn Jr defended the Tall Grass Prairie National Park before 250 farmers at the Franklin County Farm Bureau annual meeting. He cited land purchase, not condemnation, and funding from offshore oil revenues, while facing outsider Oliver Hess who called the bill vicious and socialistic. Winn urged hearings for opponents and admitted concern over inflation and economic conditions as county bureau officers and board members were elected at the close.
