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. The Mid-
