Carter Saw What Others Couldn't
The problem with the blanket directives from Washington.
D.C. or anywhere else for that matter is that no one set of
rules can be equally justified for all areas or situations.
A case in point is President Carter’s decision to allow 800
workers from Mexico to assist in the recently completed onion
harvest and the current cantaloupe harvest in Presidio,
Texas.
With the help of the Presidio Growers Association and
Presidio County grower-shippers, half of the onion crop was
salvaged and a good deal of the cantaloupe crop will be,
thanks to Carter overruling the labor deoartment.
The problems remain.
In an interview with Presidio
Growers Association vice president Oscar Spencer. The
Packer learned the 800 workers are only a third of the total
number needed to harvest the area's cantaloupe crop and
there simply are no domestic workers available.
The reason for the shortage of domestic field hands is one
of proximity or lack of. Presidio, a community of 1,000 people
to begin with, is 250 miles from any major metropolitan area
like El Paso. The city’s closest neighbor in the United States
is Marfa. Texas, a metropolis of 2,647 people. And it’s only a
scant 61 miles north on the only highway out of Presidio, U.S.
Highway 67.
in other words, where is the domestic field labor force
coming from? When the city population is only 1,000 and
there is a need for 1,800 to 2,000 field hands, there isn’t half
enough domestic labor in the city, even if every man, woman
and child in Presidio worked the field harvest!
President Carter apparently could see this. The U.S. labor
department, for some reason or other, does not seem to
understand this. Put more simply. Spencer said there is only
one field hand for every three acrs of cantaloupes. Not nearly
enough to prevent much of the crop from being a total loss.
Yet much of the news media has bemoaned the fact that
Carter’s action was depriving domestic field hands of jobs. In
truth, however, there is no such person as a ‘‘domestic field
hand" for the Presidio grower.

LETTERS
TO
EDITOR
Editor’s Neto: The follow
ing is a copy of a letter from
the Oregon Wheat Commis
sion to Secretary of Agri
culture, Bob Bergland.
Mr. Bob Bergland
Secretary of AGricluture
U.S.D.A.
Washington. D.C. 2005
Dear Mr. Bergland:
The Oregon Wheat Com
mission is reporting to you
the continually deepening
concern of Oregon growers
and those in their neighbor
ing states of Washington,
Idaho, and Montana, regard
ing the dramatic price de
pressing build up of stocks
of U.S. wheat types.
1 he decrease in volume of
exports of U.S. wheat is of
particular concern when this
nation is under a full
production schedule. The
most recent export report
shows a drop of nearly 250
million bushels (or over 20%
in the last season). No one
has to tell you how drasti
cally this has affected market
prices. All this with the cost
of production continuing to
spiral.
It is imperative that the
current Administration de
monstrate its responsibility
in its obligation to the pro
ducer segment in disposing
of excess stocks after encour
aging increased production
which has lowered market
prices below the cost of
production.
Aggressive activation of
U.S. Government export pro
grams should be undertaken
immediately. Use of Public
Law 480, CCC. credit and
increased government finan
cial support of the U.S.D.A.
Foreigh Agricultural Service
should all be utilized to the
fullest deeree when our
competing export nations are
being so fiercely aggressive
in their attempt to end U.S.
dominance of the world
market.
The wheat industry Fo
reign Market Development
program can be efficient only
with full U.S. Government
financial support and strong
cooperation with U.S. grower
promotion groups, and third
party co-operators in the
importing nations.
The U.S.D.A.’s Foreign
Agricultural Service is woe
fully underfinanced with only
a $12 million annual budget
to assist in promoting 35 U.S.
commodities abroad.
Its budget has not been
increased for over ten years.
Inflation has reduced the
value of the $12 million to
just over $6 million.
Grower market develop
ment organizations have in
creased their budgets re
peatedly to attempt to carry
out programs at an effective
level. Further increases in
grower financial commit
ments places undue burden
on state wheat commissions
and associations.
Every effort must be exer
cised to gain approval of the
added $4 million recom
mended by the Senate for
F.A.S. budget.
The House of Representa
tives sub-committee on ap
propriations, under Whitten
and which added only $325,-
000 instead of
3 million
increase recommended by
the house Agriculture Com
mittee. must be influenced to
reconsider Its inadequate
decision.
U.S. balance of trade
deficit can be corrected
through expansion of Agri
cultural commodity exports,
thereby strengthening the
U.S. economy and bolstering
the value of the American
dollar, which benefits all U.S.
citizenry.
Our producers sincerely
urge your Department, the
President, and the Congress
to originate activity in all
fields immediately so they
can remain solvent and
provide a healthy agriculture
to the benefit of the full U.S.
population.
Sincerely.
Box Nixon. Chairman
Oregon Wheat Commission
