U.S- Acting Secretary of Agriculture
John Knebel Friday told UNL students and
Nebraa livestock industry leaders that he
will work toward promoting more grain
and beef exports.
Dur?2 Knebel's visit to Lincoln, he
briefly toured the Nebraska tractor testing
station and spbke on the UNL East Cam
pus after watching a meat processing
demonstration.
Knebel and others present were sur
Jjrised when Roger Mandigo, head of UNL
Loeffel Meat Lab, concluded his explana
tion of the meat processing technique by
pressing some meat into the shape of
Nebraska.
Knebel described the beef and wheat
industries as "down, but not out."
He said the UJS. Agriculture Dept.
would soon stop the flow of beef imports
from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
' Foreign meat had been getting around
the import quota and into this country
through this port.
Knebel predicted quotas on beef im
ports will be continued next year unless
beef prices sharply increase in the UJS-
"The essence of what the President
wants in agriculture is the continuance of
policies he and (former Agriculture Secre
tary) Earl Butz developed," Knebel siii.
Knebel moved .from under secretary of
the US. Agriculture Dept. after the re
signation of Eutz.
He said Congress must face new farm
legation next year and wCl meet pressure
to improve crop disaster programs and
target price guarantees.
. Agreeing that current farm legislation
needs adjustment, Knebel said he thinks
there would be "a proper upward advance
in the target price" of farm products.
A guaranteed target price would insure
the farmer a price calculated to pay ex
penses amd provide profit. No guaranteed
target price now exists.
During a downtown press conference
Knebel said his trip was for campaign
purposes and paid for by the Ford election
committee.
Knebel called Jimmy Carter's agricul
ture program "just a bunch of peanuts."
When asked about a secret memo passed
around federal departments advising
against ethnic jokes, Knebel said it might
exist although he had no knowledge of it.
He said that because of Blitz's travels
he had been acting secretary before his for
mal appointment.
Knebel was escorted by retiring UJS.
