Farm Bureau chief attacks labor labeling anti labor tactics

Fleming told a general session of the American Farm Bureau Federation on the third day of its annual meeting that well intentioned people can misuse farmers public relations by connecting farmers with unworkable government farm programs. He criticized the Omnibus Farm Bill for handpicked advisory committees appointed by the Agriculture Secretary, not elected by farmers, and urged members to let farmers speak for themselves. He noted 27 state Farm Bureaus gained members this year and 22 met their 1961 quotas, bringing total membership to 600,944. Illinois added 3,096 members, the second largest increase, cementing Illinois as the federation's largest family membership.
