Outlook Given On Oregon Grain; Picture Unsure Market prices for Oregon's 1963 grain crops are expected to reflect large stocks and lower government loan rates, reports Ray Teal, Oregon State Univer sity extension seed marketing specialise. Government loan rates for all 1963 grain crops, except oats, are lower than in 1962. Whether prices on Northwest wheat crop will reflect the full 18 cent de cline in loan rates depends on several things, however, Teal said. Exports from the Pacific Northwest increased 8 percent from July 1, 1962, through March, 1963. However, this is more than offset by an increase of 73 per cent during the same period of in-shipments from other wheat producing areas. Mainly of Hard Red winter wheat, these in-shipments were in turn exported along with Northwest white wheat.- Japan took almost equal amounts of two classes of wheat during July through March. An increase of white wheat in stocks on hand April 1 also points to a decline in wheat prices of at least the 18 cent lower support rate, Teal notes. Another price-depressing inflU' ence is the prospect for a larger crop in the Northwest this year than in 1962. The recent wheat referendum vote will hold 1963 prices down, Teal adds, especially in the lat ter part of the season. Other unknown factors which will be at work include action taken by the government on Commod ity Credit Corporation sales, In ternational Wheat Agreement and Public Law 480 authoriza tions. All of these could affect export movement, he said. At present, Japanese importers are objecting to the present make-up of Western White wheat blend which has been an increase in protein content and gluten strength. This has pre- seted problems in using the flour for biscuit and pastry pur poses. Teal explained that the per centage of White Club wheat in the blend has been decreasing because rust-resistant varieties are now being grown in place of White Club varieties. It has been suggested that this year White Club be kept sep arate so that white wheat can be properly blended for export. Failure to maintain desirable quality can lose important over seas markets for Northwest wheat, Teal warns. A lower loan rate and a de cline in overseas markets may indicate lower prices lor the 1903 barley crop, Teal continued These factors were reflected at Portland in mid-June when bar ley was $7 a ton lower than at the same time last year. How much lower than last year prices may go will depend on export markets, government policy as to CCC sales and the size of the 1963 crop. California expects a smaller crop this year and the late season in the Wil lamette Valley may lower yields. This could strengthen prices, he added. Some strength may be given the 1963 barley and oats market because corn prices have moved higher as a result of reduced production coupled with strong domestic and exDort demand, the specialist said. Higher corn prices could encourage more barley and oats feeding in the Northwest. The larger barlye and oats stocks on hand this spring in the Northwest are a partial off-set to the possible smaller crop and increased feeding, Teal added. Oat prices are expected to be at or near loan levels unless the 1963 crop is considerably smaller because of unfavorable spring weather. Is How To Get There!
