It has been tough Increasing our membership with all the in- dustry problems, but the future seems to be brightening for the cattle feeding sector. This, coupled with the ·need for more unity should pro- vide us with more encouragement toward bu i I d_i ng our assoc I at Ion. Up to now, there has been a lack of organization' in my membership effort. After the Winter Convention and the announcement of the member- ship contest, my plans are to direct much of my time to this effort. I have several positive ideas but from past experience the strength toward a successful membership drive is backing from the members. Since you are the decision makers and leaders of our associat ion, I wll I seek your advice and assistance while working in your area .
