Cambridge, southwestern Nebraska | I was in high school at the time. I remember on the news watching guys tearing up their wheat in KS in protest of the low prices.
We had a local guy drive to Washington DC in the tractorcade. Things got a little wild with him. The DC police stopped him by pulling the fuel lines off the tractor and taking him out of the cab with guns drawn. Don't think he spent much time in jail but he was in some serious trouble for awhile in the courts. He didn't farm much longer. |
