"For example, our state president in Kansas says he understands why the association will not take a stand and yet he has said he personally will strike. But the satne reaction has not followed in Iowa at this time," Bader said. The director predicted the areas that will be hit hardest by the strike probably will be in Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska.

"Most of the phone calls we are now about it seem to be coming in from Kansas, Nebraska and only a few from Iowa and Missouri," he said. Bader said the splintering of the" farmers' comes because "of the diversity in the corn belt." "The corn producers in Iowa are often hog and cattle producers as wel) as Association, predicted Monday. "From what I can see, the support for the strike seems to be limited, particularly to the wheat belt. I don't think it will be farmer along long period. Lower prices for soybeans, eggs and cotton partially offset increases in other farm items.

The index was 1 percent lower, than a year ago at this time. The board said the index for prices paid to farmers for commodities and services, interest, taxes and farm wage rates was 201, unchanged from the previous month. growing some soybeans. And the prices for those commodities at this point are pretty good, so they are perhaps feeling the pinch a little less. "Farmers in some of the other areas have their eggs all in one basket with just wheat or just corn," Bader said.

Also farmers are a very "independent breed." "Farmers have always been independent and absolute about it and don't choose to follow the Bader said. "However, all those who are concerned with the strike are strongly and emotionally involved In it." Bader said the success of the proposed strike will be measured by the objectives which the farmers set for it. Om Ommmt High Law Ust IkC 3f J2 39J5 3tB 3M5 39.62.
