Farmer participating in a tractorcade in front of the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama.
A sign on the tractor reads, "No Farmers No Food / 100% Parity." In December 1977, farmers across the country organized tractorcades in their state capitals to demand 100% parity (payment for their crops or livestock that would at least equal the cost of growing or raising them).
