34 Lincoln, Neb. Journal Tuesday, March 4,1975 Feed Grain Cutback Effort Moving Pretty Fast--Bunger By Bart Becker A farmer movement to cut back feed grain acreage by 20' in an attempt to prod prices upward is "moving pretty fast," according to its Nebraska leader, Harold Bunger of Hildreth. Bunger said the drive was discussed Sunday in Des Moines at a meeting of farmers from seven Midwest states. The cutback movement was prompted by concern that all-out production would drop feed grain prices below the cost of production. a i Nebraska group, called South Central Farmers five weeks ago.

To date, Bunger said, he has received more than 3,500 pledges from Nebraska farmers to cut back feed grain acres by He is optimistic that more will climb on the wagon. "We're going to put some teeth in this thing." he said. "We're going to make it go. I'd estimate 7,500 to 8,000 Nebraska farmers are going to do it." It is admittedly difficult to determine the effect of the movement without knowing the acreage involved. There are a 69.000 a in Nebraska, according to the State-Federal Division of Agricultural Statistics.

Another poll being taken to determine support for the movement hadn't received enough response by Tuesday to reveal anything conclusive. It is being conducted statewide by the Nebraska Feed Grain Growers Assn. Earl Strong of Aurora, president of that group, said less than We of the farmers polled had responded by Tuesday morning. Although he called the early response "very inconclusive," he noted that most farmers were "very much in favor" of the feed grain acreage cutback. At the Sunday Des Moines meeting, it was decided not only to campaign for a cutback, but to urge concurrent action, Bunger said.

Three points agreed on were: --Persuade the government to remove monitoring of grain exports, a practice seen as the main cause for the current depression in grain prices. --Cancel all new machinery orders. --Reduce nitrogen fertilizer application to a bare minimum. Price Goals Listed Bunger said farmers are aiming for government target prices of $3 a bushel for corn, 83.75 for wheat and $6.20 to $6.50 for soybeans. Additionally, he said, farmers would like to see a loan support rate of at least $2.25 for corn.

$3 for wheat and $4.50 for soybeans. This compares to a current target price of $1.38 and support price of around $1.04 for com, he noted. a a West, 2 Men, 7 Firms Named in Iowa Lawsuit COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP)--A suit charging American Beef Packers President Frank West, two other men and seven corporations with conspiracy to defraud those owed money by ABP has been filed in Pottawattamie County District Court.

NEBRASKAbndMarks Critical Medic Shortage Declared in Boone Area agriculture subcommittee approved a bill to increase the so- called target price on corn from the current $1.38 a bushel to $2.25.

This means that if the price of corn on commercial markets falls below $2.25, the government will make up the difference to the farmer. It is, in effect, a federally guaranteed price. The target price on wheat would be raised from $2.05 to $3.10 by the measure. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has estimated that it costs the fanner about $1.79 to produce a bushel of corn and $2.50 to produce a bushel of wheat.

Ron Radenz of the ag statistics division said that if production actually decreases "it can't help but have a positive effect on prices, the in the sense that they'll go up." Cut Seen i a S. an agriculture economist at the University of Nebraska, estimated that a reduction a i i i i an average yield of 90 bushels an acre would result in "zero reserves as of Oct. 1, 1976." Turner said the movement would have "a substantial on a i prices. "Feelings of farmers are running pretty strong right now," he continued. "They're very concerned that reserves will be rebuilt, resulting in prices below the price of production." He noted that the cutback movement must be a national effort to be effective.

Figuring a projected planting about equal to last year's, Turner estimated a cutback would result in 62.7 million acres planted. The harvested yield would be 52.7 million acres at the average 90- bushels-an-acre yield. This would compare with 67.4 million acres harvested last year. For the consumer, Turner said, the cutback would most likely be reflected in the increased cost of red meat. "If the price of corn goes up.

the price of quality, choice-grade beef will go up," he said. "The real result is probably a larger supply of lower-grade, grass-fed beef" Southeast David City Quilt Display In the first activity of a series planned in Butler County and David City for the bicentennial, a quilt display will be staged at the city auditorium in David City Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. The quilts are part of a collection of nearly 85 made by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Haight of rural David City.

In a suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court, the woman alleges the records invade her 16-year-old son's privacy and deny him due process of law in terms of equal protection under the law. She maintains that while her son has been arrested many- times, he has never been convicted of a crime and the information about the arrests may- jeopardize his future, namely being admitted to college, getting a credit rating or finding a job.

Attorney Geoffrey Peters, who filed the suit, says it may be the first of its kind in Nebraska. At the heart of the action is the question of public records an individual's privacy, a controversial subject that is being a in the a a Legislature. The Miscellaneous Subjects Committee is considering LB524, which, among other steps, sets up a committee to decide what police information can be recorded and how that information should be kept. i i i a Andersen, one of the defendants named in the suit, said he would no comment until he has read the document. Andersen did say, however, a "we desperately need legislation in the area of records.

a we've been hijacked over the years." He alluded to the use of police- record information outside the department. "We should be allowed to keep our own wdk projects for our own use only and forbid anyone else. We don't want to hurt anybody with records, but at the same time we want to know what we're doing." Andersen opposed LB524 last week at a hearing, saying it had many technical conflicts. The measure also was opposed by Media of Nebraska, representing the broadcasting and newspaper industries, which said the public's right to know is jeopar- Ranchers Are Rosebud Sioux Target Indians Revoke Leases Rosebud. S.D.

(UPI) The Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council a a a a organization made up mostly of white ranchers is subersive and the council began revoking leases on Indian land held by the ranchers. In a resolution forwarded to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, the council said it would revoke leases held by members of the "Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota or like organization." The civil liberties group was formed recently by ranchers who said they were concerned over jurisdictional and law enforcement problems on the state's nine Indian reservations. Most members are from southwest and south-central South Dakota, the state, where the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations are located. Both reservations have been the scene of unrest since the 1973 armed occupation of Wounded Knee by members of the American Indian Movement. Tribal spokesman Norman Knox said about of the 480,000 acres of the Rosebud is leased to non-Indians.

The resolution charged the civil liberties group with "engaging in subversive activities against the Rosebud Sioux tribe and these activities are a direct attempt to under- i a i i i i and the constitutional rights of the tribe."

Peters said the youth involved in the suit was arrested in 1969 on suspicion of petty larceny and was released shortly after being booked. In 1971, he was arrested on suspicion of robbery and the case never was brought to Juvenile Court.

In 1973, he was booked on four counts in connection with a purse snatching. The case went to Juvenile Court, Peters said, but was dropped on the recommendation of the Douglas County attorney. "Police maintain that the record information is not available to anyone other than the police," Peters said. "However, I have two concerns. First, it has been shown that the information does get out.

Whether it's malicious or not, I can't say, but the information does get beyond the police station, and that concerns me. "Secondly, I'm not sure that the law enforcement officers wouldn't use this information to sway their opinions or influence their discretion when interrogating a suspect or apprehending one." of Elgin, Lindsay, Newman Grove and Belgrade.
