ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PARITY ON FAMILY-TYPE FARMS

A concurrent resolution memorializing Congress to provide full one hundred percent parity for products produced on family-type farms.

WHEREAS, ninety percent of North Dakota's income comes from the soil;

WHEREAS, the very existence of the farm home and the family-sized farm is endangered by continuing economic trends; and

WHEREAS, the best interests and general welfare of the nation as a whole would suffer incalculable loss if the farm family home were to be replaced by large, commercial, manager-operated farms; and

WHEREAS, it is for the best interests and general welfare of the whole nation that those who toil on these family-sized farms to maintain their farm homes and receive for their labors a fair return, comparable with industry, so that these farm homes may not be replaced by large, managerial-type, commercially operated farms;

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of North Dakota, the Senate Concurring Therein:

That the Congress of the United States is hereby requested and urged to provide price supports for the products of these family-type farms at one hundred percent of parity.

Be It Further Resolved, that the secretary of state transmit copies of this resolution to United States Senator William Langer, United States Senator Milton R. Young, Representative Quentin N. Burdick, and Representative Don L. Short.
