Statement of the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association To The Honorable Bergland, Secretary of Agriculture

Abstract

The answer is the Miracle of American Agriculture. A system so productive that it released 90% of our work force from the farms to build the world's greatest industrial power. A system so efficient that it provides more food for more people more cheaply than any in the world's history; plus selling a $32 'Billion food basket to buy OPEC oil, thereby preserving what sanity is left in the dollar.
Agriculture is local, land is local and people are local. To ignore this in a burst of energetic bureaucracy will subject America to a calamitous miscalculation.
