- Description:
- Jimmie L. Jarrell, President of the Oklahoma Farmers Union, spoke out against proposed regulations by OSHA for the grain handling industry, stating they would burden grain elevators and wheat farmers with additional costs and red tape. He believes that existing safety conditions in Oklahoma elevators are sufficient and that the new regulations are unnecessary. Senator Don Nickles called a hearing to assess the impact of the regulations on the agriculture sector. Jarrell and other witnesses testified against the regulations, citing excessive costs for compliance.
