Bergland Faces Wheat Farmers Across Divide in Kansas
Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland toured Kansas to push the new farm bill while facing sharp farmer discontent. In Wichita a rally by American Agriculture demanded parity prices and a farmer strike threat loomed from southwest Kansas and eastern Colorado if price supports fail. Bergland answered questions on London talks and farm criteria, then joined a Mennonite hunger walk near Buhler before sharing a meal with locals, highlighting contrasting views on farm policy.
