The National Farmers Organization (NFO) was founded in 1955 to combat low prices farmers received from food processors. The NFO argued that farmers made up nine percent of the nation's population but only earned four percent of its income. The original headquarters of the NFO was located in Corning, Iowa.
The collection (1955-[ongoing]) contains articles of incorporation, by-laws, administrative and subject files (including information on holding actions), convention materials, financial and tax information, publications and brochures, news clippings and press releases, commodity contracts, legal files, and FBI files about the NFO.
Publications by the NFO can also be found by searching the library's catalog. In addition to editions found in the collection, the NFO's newsletter, The NFO Reporter, can be found under call no. HD1751 N213 and News, Facts, Outlooks under call no. HD1485 N38 N49x.
The Special Collections Department also holds NFO audiotapes and films. For additional information about these audiovisual holdings, please contact the Department.
