leaders in the government, business, and labor are considering policies
affecting prices, wages, taxes and related matters? How much can you
do alone?

clusions and influence of 828.00(1 farm families who are members of 40
state Farm Bureau organizations. Stale and local Farm Bureaus are
active on matters within their fields.
