Chicago -Jl'Pl)- The National
Farmers Organization, bat
tling to revolutionize grain
and livestock markets, today
blamed an alleged conspiracy
among food processors for
signs ill "all-out holding ac
tion" was failing. '
NFO president Oren Lee
Staley, discounting the hard
facts of heavier livestock ship
ments and lower prices, pre
dicted the showdown struggle
in the farm rebellion was still
"about a week away."
Better Contracts Sought
The NFO campaign to keep
cattle, hogs, sheep, corn and
soybeans off the market is
aimed at forcing food proces
sors and buyers to bargain for
contracts that guarantee high
er, stable prices for those com
modities. Staley, at NFO headquar
ters in Corning, Iowa, said
Wednesday's higher cattle and
hog receipts at 12 major Mid
west markets, which dropped
prices, were part of a "psy
chological battle" being waged
by processors.
Claiming tht NFO leaders
"are all more optimistic than
ever before," he said proces
sors "have just about thrown
their big punch, although they
might get big receipts again
this week end."
Hold To Tighten I
"We knew at the beginning
that we had to get rid of the
cattle In the commercial feed
lots owned by processors and
chain stores, plus those al
ready contracted for sales,"
Staley said.
"We feel by the middle of
next week the hold will really
tighten and we'll then have
the strongest part of the all
out holding action."
The NFO hold began In
earnest last week, when live
stock prices rose under lower
market shipments, but for the
past three days the story has
been different.
For the third consecutive
day cattle sales rose sharply
Wednesday and grain - fed
steers and heifers ranged from
steady to 75 cents lower on
the 12 markets.
