take all that money and ship all the
politicians, all the past and present
wheat commission people, all past
and present wheat association mem
bers and any one else that associates
himself with these people and ship
them to Russia They are the ones
that have sold the American farmer
down the road, sold the farm out
from under him All the trips abroad
to, "so to speak." "promote wheat."
all they are. are glorified vacations
Sure they built a big bakery in China
with who's money’’ Sure we sold
them wheat to operate the bakery
for a short while, but ask them now
who is selling China the wheat to
keep that bakery going’ Nice going
guys
I have no idea how Willie plans to
use the money to help the farmer
but my guess is 15 percent w ill go to
(>ui on the program Farm Aid. 30
percent w ill go to administration
and distribution 40 percent will go to
the big and corporate farmers w hich
do not need it and 15 percent w ill go
to the financially stricken farmer
When America sees a picture of a
farm all he or she sees is a big fancy
farm with all new machinery , with
all new vehicles, a big fancy house
and buildings, with the owner going
south to I’ hoenix and Palm Springs
for the winter
These are not
financially stricken farmers
This might sound like I am bitter,
well I am. and I have every right to
feel this way

To the Kditor
My hat goes off to Willie Nelson
and all the performers that put on
the Farm Aid program Sundav.
Sept 22
I listened to most of it and was
touched by the program, and anyone
who wasn't has something wrong
with him or her My personal feeling
is that W illie's heart was in the right
place but to get the attention of the
American people is to take away the
food from their tables and the
clothes off their backs The Amen
can farmer drove their tractors on
the White House lawn and that didn't
work, they have held demonstra
lions and rallies that didn't work,
they have blocked farm auctions and
that too didn't work I know this
sounds harsh, but make him or her
feel the pain like us. the American
farmer has
W illie raised a lot of money for the
financially strickened farmer. I am
against this and this is why. you
can t pour good money after bad
All you have done is prolonged the
agony Take that money and create
a market, one that he can get a fair
price for his produce one that he can
make a fair profit on Take the
money . put it into a program where
he can better manage his invest
ment You can t help the farmer
when you haven’t solved the pro
blems
Now I relate mainly to the wheat
industry because that is what I raise
and am fam iliar with, but I (eel this
way about the whole agricultural
system I would like to see Willie
