Joseph T. Burns: “We will hope for better times in the cattle business. The Senator from Nebraska knows that we have been through these…”

On the recordMarch 12, 1996
We will hope for better times in the cattle business. The Senator from Nebraska knows that we have been through these times before, and we will go through this one. I will be honest with you. I have a hard time, I say to the Senator from Nebraska, of going down the aisle in the grocery store. And these people are setting up here tonight. They buy a box of Wheaties. Wheaties is $3.46 cents a pound. It is not $3.46 cents a box, but a pound. Until this year we had a hard time getting $3.50 cents a bushel for a bushel of wheat, and there are 60 pounds in that bushel. I have a hard time dealing with that. So I appreciate the comments of my friend from Nebraska.
