I was jsut wanting to know if very many farmers in the mid west would be interested in starting up the NFO agen, not the violent type we had back in the 80s. I jsut dont belive we are being treated fairly with such high fuel prices and low grain prices while machinery prices continue to sore. Their are many farmers around my area who are being foreclosed on while all of the sons of farmers aound here can not afford to keep the family farm going. I am just trying to find a way to help, because of something doesnt change i will not beable to keep farming or grow any larger in size.

Too many scars from anything with the intials 'nfo' for it to ever fly around here again. People will run from that & the gun-play fast as they can.

The govt is what is going to swallow up the small/ medium farms. Environmental mandates, fees, livestock identification, political manipulation of markets. Doesn't matter which part is involved, just the general creep of govt is forcing (and rewarding) the industrialization of farms into things that cannot be owned by a person or family.

Demands & protests based on selling or costs of our inputs will _not_ have an effect on this overall direction.

Your groups would need to change the overall direction of govt regulation of the ag industry to give any kind of releif to farmers. The price of fuel - doesn't really matter in the bigger scope of things.

NFO still does some bargaining while NFU is focused on politics. NFO still does some cattle marketing in my area but no grain. My grandfather was abig supporter of NFO. Up till a few years ago he used to go around with the guy running the loading facility and get cattle booked together for semiloads. When it comes down to it though, about half of the producers were so greedy they would wait for the guy from the collection point to tell them which cattle were ready for market then they would either sell them at the auction barn or call up the IBP/Smithfield buyer and tell them that these guys are priced at such a level so the IBP guy would pay a bit more. Then when the day came to load the semi those guys would either not bring the cattle at all or would bring some unfinnished cattle and then they complained when the packer docked them since the cattle were contracted on the rail not on the hoof.
