Growers in Ironic Spot on Whcot Grades
Whest ranchers in thU part of the country threatened
with two major obstacles on this years crop-one ot r""
ml one by nature.
The 14 Wheat Program w finy r ' Congress in
the wake of the defeat of the Wheat Referendum, ana m
1 hurdle of economic was relieved.
Then came Nature's threat to the crop-the spring drouth
that appeared destined to wreck the harxest by limiting the
crop to a 13 bushel per acre yield or jess. nnw .
however, saved the situation nd the growers were once more
transformed to the opUmUtlc side.

that while yield U down from normal, quality appears to be
among the fcest oi proauewn
But an Ironic situation has developed that threatens another
setback to the wheat rancher. It U the matter of dow-njrradlnc

went into eficct as oi June i.

as little as one red Kernel 10 iie
to 100 red. will mean discounts and loss to the growers.
Making it more difficult to bear is that ranchers here have
had Justifiable pride in tne quaaiiy w wneai mcy ic.
.ki. aiuivi fnnn radv market, and it cannot
be said that surpluses in wheat across the nation have resulted

developing a marketing program abroad that has paid dividends.
The new grading standards were adopted in a effort to
continue improvement in the quality of wheat, but the one
on contrasting grades has caught ranchers by surprise because
they did not realize, until harvest actually arrived, Just what
the implications would be.
Just how much of this year"s total crop in Morrow county
will be downgraded is yet difficult to determine. Al Lamb
estimates that it might be in the neighborhood of 20. Those
raising Gaines wheat do not seem to be having trouble, but
those raising several other varieties are consistently drawing
the downgrade penalties.
Just where the trouble comes is not definitely pinpointed.
In some instances, ranchers who have changed varieties on
their fields may be getting a contrasting variety when it comes
up as volunteer wheat
Some of the trouble may be at the elevators where some
kernels of a contrasting variety may be mixed in during the
elevating process although steps are taken in an attempt to
prevent this.
There is also some feeling that newly-developed varieties
have a tendency in some instance to revert, but this is something
about which County Agent Nels Anderson is skeptical.
Appeals have been made to suspend the new regulations
for a year on the basis that the crop was in the ground when
the new grades were set up. Ranchers do not shy away from
Improving quality, but they do need a year to correct the
trouble and "ge( their house in order,"
This one-yeaf suspension would seem to be a fair and
logical step, if it can be done. It is pitiful and ridiculous to
grade as No. 3 or No. 4 some of the most beautiful wheat that
was ever produced and the ranchers and county shouldn't be
penalized with the economic loss. This year has brought anxiety
