Political plans criticized National policy sough United Press International TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kan sas Farm Bureau Monday called for a long-range national policy for agriculture to put an end to 50 years of politcally motivated planning. The resolution tentatively approved at the Kansas group’s annual convention, will be for warded to the American Farm Bureau meeting Jan. 10-12 in Orlando, Fla. The Kansas group was expected to take final action on its resolutions Tuesday. “Fifty years of experimenta tion with short-term, short sighted, politically motivated agricultural and food legislation . should provide sufficient evi dence that a long-range policy for U.S. agriculture is absolutely essential,” the resolution stated. Such a policy would allow far mers to take maximum advan tage of market opportunities at home and abroad without gov ernment intervention, it said. The resolution approved by the state farm bureau seeks im mediate action by the president “to elevate the farm policy de bate above partisanship and beyond the next election.” It also proposes the creation of a National Commmission on Agriculture and Food Policy, which Gov. John Carlin’s task force on agriculture suggested during the summer.
