Bergland egged by dissident farmers in Amarillo clash
Agriculture Secretary Bergland faced eggs and snowballs from about 150 protesters in Amarillo as he left a motel after a meeting with American Agriculture leaders. Police chief Spradlin was struck in the head by an egg. Bergland outlined a three year plan with 20 percent wheat and 10 percent corn milo cuts and a 25 cent storage rate to discourage market grain, pledging prices around 3.15 dollars per bushel.
