By JOHN WELBES i Executive Vice President Oregon Wheat League Bob Brogoitti. a Union county farmer and for many years a wheat farmer in Umatilla coun ty, will serve as one of ten peo ple as an advisor to Secretary of Agriculture, Dr. Clifford Har din.

Meetings win De iiliu least once a month. Wheat producers from Idaho Washington, and Oregon, along with representatives from grain dealer and exporters met recent ly in Pendleton with Brogoitti. Also in attendance was E. L. Hatcher, Lamar. Colo., president of the National Association of Wheat Growers. Guidelines were set up as a beginning for Bro goitti to carry to Washington. These are as follows: 1. Seek increased foreign sales. 2. Es tablish a strategic grain reserve. 3. Increase export payments to the farmer. 4. Extend the Soil Bank another year and permit waiver of the regulation that nnm in three vears. inis win keep 1969 wheat acreage down. 5. Early part payment of wheat certificates. 6.

"Meaningful production con trols" are one of three items Pendleton rancher Don Wood ward said are needed right now. He is a vice president of West ern Wheat Associates. His oth er points were that a workable reserve should be established and payments on export certif icates increased to meet the world minimum price under the International Grains Arrange ment. .

One of the major barriers to expanded trade, according to the OSU spe cialist, is the present lack of any organized industry-wiae marketing development piu gram. . "One of the best means of getting an export drive started for beer cattle ana aresseu ulti would be to form a trade as sociation organized for market ing development, representing the entire U. S. cattle industry or that portion of the industry in the western states, says iay lor. Writing in TRADE, a month ly newsletter published by the hsn Extension Marketing and Utilization Sciences group, Tay lor points to the successful ov erseas market development pro grams conducted by trade asso ciations such as Western Wheat Associates and U.
