Title	American Agricultural Movement Bumper Stickers
Subject	Agriculture Farming Strikes Farmers Bumper stickers
Place	Spencerville (Ohio) Allen County (Ohio)
Description	These three bumper stickers document the struggle of family farmers and efforts to address the issue through the organization of the American Agricultural Movement. The national movement's Ohio headquarters were in Spencerville, Ohio. The bumper stickers measure between 8" x 3" (20.32 x 7.62 cm) and 12" x 3" (30.48 x 7.62 cm). The American Agricultural Movement was organized in 1977 to preserve the family farm system and to seek 100% parity for all agricultural products. Parity refers to the federal government's policy of guaranteeing that the purchasing power of farmers would remain the same as it was in 1910-1914, when it was equal with industry. In 1978 overall farm prices were estimated at 66 percent of parity. A national farm strike resulted when farmers demands were not met by midnight, December 13, 1977. The strike subsided by March 1978, even though the farmers had not accomplished their goals.
