LEGISLATION
Mr. Bowen Miller addressed the Jury on a matter identified as the “Declaration of Local Agricultural Emergency”. He presented that the declaration is a citizen response to the alleged failure of the executive branch to abide by and execute congressionally enacted laws. He continued by stating that the present economic emergency was in part a consequence of a severe disparity between prices of agriculture and other commodities, which disparity has largely destroyed the purchasing power of farmers for industrial products and seriously impaired the agricultural assets supporting the national credit structure. Ultimately Mr. Miller requests the Jury instruct the Attorney General to investigate the apparent abdication by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government regarding compliance with existing laws. This declaration would also direct the Governor, the Commissioner of Agriculture and the Legislative Auditor to participate.
A motion was offered by Mr. Pat Daigle, seconded by Mr. John Beard, to respectfully request a written position from the Acadia Parish Farm Bureau on the matter presented by Mr. Bowen Miller related to the “Declaration of Local Agricultural Emergency. Motion carried.
