http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313786468

Summary report (February 1973), conference proceedings (audio recordings), and a twenty-seven minute highlight audio recording, of this one day conference convened December 13, 1972 at Moorhead State College, Moorhead, Minnesota, to highlight the potential of the Rural Development Act of 1972 (Public Law 92-419). Sponsored by senators Hubert H. Humphrey, Minnesota, and Herman Talmadge, Georgia, the act was signed into law in August 1972. Its primary purpose was to provide jobs and increase income in rural areas by encouraging rural industrialization and commercial activity. It also improved the amount and types of farm credit available from the Farmers Home Credit Administration, and dealt with rural environmental protection, housing, fire protection and rural development research and education.
