>This Sunday, April 9th, Sixty Minutes (CBS) is scheduled to air a
>special expose on the American Farm Bureau Federation.
>
>According to a recent Farm Bureau letter sent to numerous Farm
>Bureau offices, the TV report, narrated by Mike Wallace, is
>"potentially damaging" and goes "straight to the heart of our farm
>organization."
>
>The Farm Bureau letter also states that "The slant of their story (60
>minutes) was that because Farm Bureau holds for-profit companies
>(i.e. property and casualty insurance companies) nationwide, we
>are not capable of representing the family farm..."
>
>Tune in Sunday night for this important event. It will be aired after
>the Masters golf tournament on CBS.
