Texas Farm
Bureau Federation
News Letter
The Texas Farm Bureau Fed-
eration acted during the past
week on two major items—the
wheat price decline and the
drouth situation. Action has al-
ready been taken on the wheat
problem.
President J Walter Hammond
contacted USD A officials late
last week in connection with the
disastrous decline in wheat
prices. The price had dropped
as much as 10 cents per day—
the limit allowed in one day’s
trading. The situation was
similar to the 1949 harvest sea-
son when elevator operators re-
fused to permit farmers to store
wheat for commodity credit
loans. As the harvest waa al-
ready underway this yeaf, the
farmers were being forced to
pile their grain on the ground
and sell it as fast as possible.’
Prices were depressed, but
farmers could not secure. gov-
ernment loans unless they could
store their wheat.
Then, Mr. Hammond stepped
in. He got in touch with the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
and requested that the govern-
ment grant loans to farmers for
wheat stored on the ground.
This was the same strategy
that he worked in 1949 which
saved wheat producers millions
of dollars. When the USDA fol-
lowed his request and announc-
ed that emergency loans would
be made for wheat stored on the
ground, the priceiof wheat spurt-
ed up as high as it could go In
one day’s trading.
In the other iction taken by
the Texas Farm Bureau this
week, the TFBF board of direc-
tors in session in Waco urgently
requested in a telegram to
President Eisenhower that he
seriously consider five proposals
to alleviate the hardship suffer-
ed by cattle producers In ths
drouth-stricken area of Texas.
