Grain Hold Action Planned By NFO To Lift Prices
Cheyenne County farmers plan a membership drive for the National Farmers Organization to back a holding action aimed at raising farm commodity prices. After a Des Moines meeting with 14 local NFO members, leaders urged more members to influence grain control, with goals including a grain bank to push corn to 1.50 a bushel, wheat to 2.00, and soybeans to 3.00, while storing half of production. Dairy and meat actions were also discussed.

Hold Wheat Davis Urges Action to Lift Prices
Ray Davis, president of the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association, urges Nebraska wheat farmers to delay marketing 1967 wheat and use government or private loans instead. He cites low current prices about $1.25 a bushel in Potter, with production costs near $1.50, and says cooperation is needed as NFC actions echo the campaign to hold back crops.
