WHEAT: China supports 47 percent
of the value of its domestic production
said. “I think the overall
total loss in revenue seen
to these programs has been
surprising.”
The goal of the study,
conducted by agricultural
economist Dermot Hayes
with Iowa State University,
was to analyze what would
happen to U.S. wheat if
domestic support in China,
India, Turkey and Brazil
were removed. Results
showed U.S. production
would increase by more than
53 million bushels, and farm
gate prices would increase by
nearly 30 cents per bushel.
As the largest world
consumer of wheat, China’s
subsidies have had a partic-
ularly compelling effect,
Henry said. China currently
supports 47 percent of the
value of its domestic produc-
tion, far exceeding its agree-
ment of 8.5 percent under the
World Trade Organization.
Hayes’ ¿ gures show U.S.
wheat growers could capture
an additional $548 million
annually if subsidies were
eliminated in China, along
with $358 million in India,

$172 million in Turkey and
$23 million in Brazil. The
study indicated the four
countries together would
increase imports by nearly 10
million metric tons, with the
U.S. in position to capture 20
percent of that growth.
And, even with the
changes, Hayes argues China,
India and Turkey would still
be 0 percent self-suf¿ cient
in wheat production.
U.S. Wheat Associates is
asking the countries to abide
by their commitments to the
World Trade Organization
as the latest Doha Round
of negotiations continues
among members, Henry
said. Increasing subsidies
likely stems from political
pressure within the countries
to increase food security, he
said, though it actually drives
up the cost for consumers by
reducing competitive imports
from America and other trade
partners.
“I think part of it is just
raising awareness of the
issue,” Henry said. “It’s
de¿ nitely not an easy answer,
and not one we expect to
be solved within the next
several months.”
Brett Blakenship, an
eastern Washington wheat
farmer and current president
of the National Association
of Wheat Growers, said the
countries’ “market-distorting
policies” are in part to blame
for wheat prices falling 30
percent over a year ago,
hitting family farms espe-
cially hard.
It’s already been a tough
production year for Oregon
wheat, with drought expected
to cut into yields by roughly
15 percent statewide. Blake
Rowe, CEO of the Oregon
Wheat Growers League,
said soft white wheat prices
have fared relatively well
compared to other types of
wheat, but have still slipped
on the export market.
All farmers can do is
continue to produce a quality
produce and weigh in to the
government on trade issues,
Rowe said.
“How hard the U.S.
pushes on this is up to the
policy-makers.
It
does
matter,” he said.

Josephine County suspends enforcement of GMO ban
Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — Jose-
phine County won’t enforce
a ban on genetically modi¿ ed
crops until a related lawsuit is
resolved.
The Daily Courier reports
that county voters passed a
GMO ban in May 2014 and
the county originally told
farmers growing GMO crops
to provide a phase-out plan
by Sept. 4.
County Legal Counsel
Wally Hicks says the Board
of Commissioners decided
to suspend that deadline until
a court rules on a lawsuit
brought against the county
by Robert A. White Jr. and
Shelly White, who grew
GMO sugar beets.
The Whites say a state law
pre-empts the county’s ban.
Hicks said the county
suspended enforcement of
the ban because the Whites’
attorney was going to ¿ le a
temporary restraining order
and there are no known
GMO growers in the county
now.

Foot Notes - Heel Pain
If you find that you are having difficulty
getting out of bed in the morning because
of heel pain, you may have plantar fasciitis.
The plantar fascia is the tight band of
ligament that makes up the arch of your
foot. It can be unusually tight because of
high arched feet, or over-stretched
because of flat or pronating (turning in)
feet. In either case, the ligament or fascia
gets strained because of constant tension.
After resting through the night, the
ligament tightens to remind you on that
first step that you have a sore heel.
Of all the foot problems encountered, it
is especially important to seek early
treatment for heel pain, recovery is much
quicker with early intervention. If the pain
is chronic, then there is sometimes a
struggle to get the heel back to normal in a
timely manner.
Several treatments exist for heel pain.,
There are medicines that can be prescribed
to help with the pain and inflammation.
A regimen of
stretching
exercises
is
u s u a l l y
instituted.
In
addition, special
insoles can be
placed
inside
your
shoes.
Ninety percent of
heel pain sufferers do not need surgery.
Other causes of heel pain exist. Heel
pain at night can be sign of decreased
circulation in your feet. Another cause
could include an unusually large spur or
bone prominence of the heel. In many
older adults, a loss of the fatty padding to
the heel can be the source of discomfort.
The bottom line? Your heel should not
be interfering with your activity level. If you
suffer from heel pain, perhaps it is time to
get it evaluated.
