Wheat League lauds AAM, but protests farm strike violence
The American Agriculture
Movement deserves a major
share of the credit for the
increased public awareness of
farm problems, the Oregon
Wheat Growers League an
nounced this week.
But the league doesn't
condone the violence used by a
small number of AAM sup
porters, nor does it agree that
the government should guar
antee parity prices for farm
products.
"Such a guarantee would
inevitably result in either a
restrictive, mandatory gov
ernment program of produc
tion cutbacks or an accumula
tion of large government
owned stocks of grain or
both," said rancher Tom
McCoy, Wasco, chairman of
the wheat league's national
farm programs committee.
"We share with the AAM the
belief that farmers should
receive parity prices for their
products. We question, how
ever, whether a government
guarantee of parity prices is
the best long-run solution to
the problems faced by farm
ers," McCoy said.
The federal guarantee
wouldn't work without a
mandatory acreage set-aside
or substantial wheat export
subsidies, McCoy said.
The wheat league said
government should be more
active in strengthening wheat
prices, "but government
money is better spent in
providing farmers the means
to stabilize and increase
market prices.
"The target price should be
raised so that farmers can
participate in the voluntary
farm program," McCoy said.
"Without an increase in the
target price, few farmers in
Oregon can afford to partici
pate in this important pro
gram." Open the grain reserve
program to the 1978 and 1979
crops, he said. "The reserve
program has been an import
ant tool by which farmers can
stabilize wheat prices. By
storing wheat when crops are
abundant and releasing wheat
to the market when demand is
strong, farmers benefit both
themselves and consumers.
"Equally important, in
creased wheat exports would
raise farm prices and provide
the U.S. with badly needed
foreign exchange," McCoy
said in urging more govern
ment export promotion.
"Also, the government
should immediately institute
an export subsidy program to
prevent the European Econ
omic Community and foreign
government sales organiza
tions from unfairly indercut
ting U.S. prices."
McCoy said a U.S. export
subsidy program, even if little
used, would be a powerful
inducement to other nations to
join with the U.S. in a world
wheat producers' agreement.
"With the breakdown of the
International Wheat Agree
ment talks, such a producers'
agreement is of the highest
priority to ensure a fair and
stable world market."
McCoy said the U.S. wheat
farmer wants the opportunity
to earn parity prices through
the market. He said that
approach is not only cheaper
to the government but more'
realistic.
"The AAM has focused
national attention on the
severity of the current crisis.
It is up to the government to
meet this crisis with adequate
funding of the current market
oriented programs," McCoy
said.
"Otherwise, far more costly
government action will be
needed in the future."
State senator introduces bill to ban
changes on Nuclear Siting panel
State Senator Jan Wyers
introduced a bill this week
which prohibits changes in the
membership of the Energy
Facility Siting Council until a
final decision has been made
on the $3.5 billion Pebble
Springs Nuclear Power
Plants. The bill says no
changes shall be made in the
membership "...until the
council approves or rejects
the site certificate applica
tions for the Pebble Springs
nuclear power plants."
The decision on Pebble
Springs is imminent. The
hearings are completed and
the Public Utility Commission
Hearings Judge's proposed
order is expected by early
May.
Wyers said, "Four -members
have served since 1971.
The two members who expres
sed doubts about nuclear
power are the ones Atiyeh is
seeking to remove. If Gover
nor Atiyeh removes these two
to comply with the spirit of the
law which limits terms to
eight years, then he will be
compelled to remove the other
two eight-year members.
Then only three of the seven
members of the Council would
be experienced. Four positive
votes are required to site a
plant. This would cause a
crisis in public confidence.
'The Senate is in a bind. We
have a constitutional responsi
bility to act promptly on
confirmations. But to change
the Siting Council now would
threaten our credibility by
creating the appearance of
stacking the Council. My bill
solves this problem and allows
the Legislature to tell Gover
nor Atiyeh that it wants no
change in the Siting Council
membership."
Wyers also announced that
the State Democratic Central
Committee adopted a resolu
tion Sunday which says, "We
ask the Senate to confirm no
new members until a final
decision on Pebble Springs is
made. In addition we ask
Governor Atiyeh to withdraw
all new nominations to the
Energy Facility Siting Council
and to submit no more
nominations and let the pre
sent membership continue
until a final decision on Pebble
Springs is made."
