Lone group of farmers still picketing Sioux City
In Sioux City Iowa on September 8 a single group of farmers attempted to block farm produce shipments while Midwestern governors gathered for a conference on an agricultural relief plan. Pickets held Highway No 75 as deputies struggled to dislodge them and 27 trucks were fired upon. Some farmers planned a parade tomorrow to press demands for loan relief and anti-foreclosure measures. The program called for moratoria on seed loans and real estate loans, extended mortgage redemption periods, and urgent steps to expand money in circulation to lift prices to 1926 levels, including a government bond issuance under Patman bill concepts.
