Sell-Back' Price
On Milo Lower
A measure of relief for Oregon
livestock ai d poultry growers
was grantee through a lowered
"sell-back” price on government
owned milo stored in the north
west. This Information came
from Senator Wayne Morse who
in conjunction with the 51st
legislative agricultural interim
committee had been seeking a
solution to the widening dispar
ity in cost between midwest and
western feed grains. This cost,
which had recently varied up to
$17 per ton on feed grains as
contrasted with a normal $5 to
$6 per ton, threatened the live
stock feeder and poultry grower
industry of Oregon.
The newly announced "sell-
back" price was listed at $43 per
ton country price for milo. This
represents a drop of $3.70 per
ton. Milo is comparable to bar
ley as a standard feed grain in
the northwest.
Livestock and poultry produced
in the northwest compete in the
same markets as those produced
in the midwest In many classifi
cations, and industry leaders are
finding the grains price dispar
ity destructive to their industry
according to a spokesman for the
agricultural Interim committee
This slight lowering of costs In
feed grain prices is not expected
to have a material effect on con
sumer poultry and livestock pro
ducts costs. Feed grain exporters
continue to receive approximate
ly a $2 advantage over Oregon
users of feed grains in the live
stock and poultry industries
