FARM BIREAU SERVICE 



r 



REPRESENTATION 



Each farmer's interests are rep- 

 resented more effectively at 

 SpringfSeld and Washington 

 when his influence is joined 

 with that of thousands of other 

 farmers through powerful or- 

 ganization. 



= HIGHER FARM PRICES 



The Farm Bureau is leading>the 

 fight to establish and maii^ain 

 parity prices for farm products. 

 This goal is now definitely set 

 forth in federal legislation and 

 a program is under way de- 

 signed to bring it about. 



^^ CROP LOANS 



The Illinois Agricultural Associa- 

 tion took the lead in sponsoring 

 the corn loan program. Loans 

 on corn, wheat and other basic 

 commodities have been sub- 

 stantially higher than open 

 market prices. 



COOPERATIVE 

 MARKETING 



More money for farm products 

 the cooperative way has been 

 the Farm Bureau's watchword

 of cooperatives in Illinois are 

 helping to guarantee the 

 farmer maximum prices for his 

 products.
