Comment *
When you don't have anything to say
don't say anything, so there is no
oommcnt.
Accent On
Agriculture
The few desperate cattlemen who
slaughtered and buried their calvcs to
call public attention to their plight have
not helped the cause of agriculture and
have made it tough for the majority of
farmers who value their
producer-consumer relationships.
Throughout this trying period of
inflation, farmers and consumers have
maintained a good understanding,
through communication, of each other's
problems.
That's why a majority of those
involved in agriculture are concerned
about consumer reaction to the
negative, grand-stand play of a few
farmers. They understand how ^
consumers are "turned off' by the sight
of calves being shot and buried Most
farmers, too, are turned off by such
irresponsible action.
Consumers should be relieved to
know that in North Carolina over
100,000 families belong to Farm
Bureau, and nationwide, over two
million. These farmers who belong to
the largest farm organisation believe in a
mare appropriate, positive method of
solving their economic problems.
While they share the very real
conoerns of the livestock farmers who
resorted to the appalling action, they
deplore their tactics. There's no
question that livestock producers are in
trouble. They have suffered price drops
of 30 to 40 percent during the past year
and. at the same time, their costs of
production have increased close to 20
percent - which means they are losing
money on practically everything they
send to market.
Farm Bureau members believe the
ideal solution would be a better price
Incentive for livestock farmers to
continue producing meat and a
moderate prioe to consumers - two
goals which are not incompatible. They
favor positive approaches to movii^
livestock and encouraging meat
consumption. Consumers can be assured
that most farmers do not resort to cattle
masaacres to solve their problems.
