  • THUMB'' EVENT BRIEF the AREA: Almost Entirely Agricultural. The
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu MICHIGAN "THUMB'' EVENT BRIEF THE AREA: Almost entirely agricultural. The chief products in the area are navy beans (USED IN SENATE BEAN SOUP) sugar beets and corn. Sanilac County has a higher degree of dairy farming than Tuscola or Huron. THE ISSUES: The chief issue in the "thumb" is the farm crisis. The price of land is down. Farmers are receiving low prices for farm products. Production costs are high. Farm implement dealers are also in an economic crisis. A recent survey of agricultural bankers showed that the dollar values of ''good" farmland in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, which includes the Thumb, showed a 3 percent drop in the first quarter of 1986. The survey also indicated that the 3 percent decline in the first quarter compares to a 10 percent decline for the past year from April '85 to April '86. The survey confirms that the rate of decline in farmland values has slowed. The survey of 500 agricultural bankers was conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank's Chicago-based Seventh district. The district includes Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. THE POLITICS: About 500 precinct delegate candidates from Huron, Tuscola, and Sanilac counties will attend tonight's fundraiser. About 350 precinct delegates will be elected from the Thumb area. Many delegate candidates have not made up their minds as to which presidential candidate they prefer. Many, since this is a heavy agricultural area, are waiting to hear you before they make a decision.

  • The House of Representatives, June 19,1992
    June 19,1992 The Houses of Representatives by Craig Ruff Control of the Michigan House of Representatives overshadows all other state political stakes in 1992, but the evacuation of the state's delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives has commanded the lion's share of attention. This analysis updates earlier, speculative discussion of the House campaigns. THE MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Outcomes in the 110 individual races for the Michigan House of Representatives will determine whether Democrats share in state policy making in 1993-94, Republicans gain carte blanche power to reapportion all congressional and state legislative districts, and which individual members control the flow and substance of legislation in the lower chamber. Currently holding a 59-50 edge (with one heavily Democratic district vacant), Democrats may be entitled to some nervousness about retaining their uninterrupted, 24-year majority. But Republicans have raised expectations before (in 1972,1980, and 1984) of gaining a majority only to have L the Democrats hold on. Reapportionment Uncertainties The appeal in federal court of the new reapportionment maps places some House districts in limbo for future elections, but not 1992. The ACLU and NAACP, with support from the secretary of state and attorney general, are arguing in U.S. district court that the state supreme court's plan diluted the votes of African- Americans. The plaintiffs argue that at least 15 House and 5 Senate districts should contain majorities of minority residents; the state supreme court's plan drew 13 and 4 minority majority districts, respectively, for the House and Senate. At issue will be the relative priority given to full compliance with the federal voting rights act versus the state supreme court's protection of political jurisdictional lines (cities, counties, and townships).

The Iowa Export Outreach Office was devel- oped by USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS) in conjunction with USDA'sFarm Service Agency to increase awareness of export opportunities within local governments and the agribusiness community, particularly among small and medi- um-sized enterprises, including cooperatives.
