U.S. Holds Balance Of Free Wheat Supply
IIKPPNKR. Ortr..l. fiAZKTTK TIMES. Thiirs.l.iv, Man-It 111. 1972
.1
Jack Sumner, KFO publicity
chairman of Morrow County,
said today Hut train prices
will not Increase Ilk they
should unless tanners make
use of rvery possibility for
orderly marketing of their
production. "However, based
on the following Information
grain prices could advance to
a much higher level if farm
ers would Just ask for It
and nuan It". E.K. Turner,
President of the Sas
katchewan Wheat Pool, told
wheat growers in Denver re
cently that the United States
has nearly all the wheat left
to be marketed in the world
through next July.
This Is a result of the dock
strike that required foreign
buyers of grain to look to
other countries. This action
depleted the free supply of
wheat left except in the Unit
ed Suites.
"You have the market just
about to yourselves for the
balance of the year," he said.
"It's the lowest prices
we've lad in 20 years. Why
continue to put downward
pressure on If."
"Finally, and I think this
applies to all countries, I
think governments ought to
listen more to farmers and
less to ni "inhers of the grain
handling and international
grain trade, because the in
terests of these two groups
are vastly different."
W.D. Hughes', Grain Mark
et News, for the week ending
10 March 1972 reported that
bidding on No. 1 soft white
wheat increased to $1.60 to
$1.G1 per bushel to arrive
coast. Country selling ex
panded and offerings were
readily absorbed by ag
gressive demand. Bidding for
winter wheat was also strong
er when shipments from first
hand holders dried up at the
previous week's lower levels.
This aggressive demand is
evident by the fact that more
than 9 million bushels of white
wheat was contracted for last

"With prices now at less
titan cost of production
we must do more limn we've
ever done before to avoid
dumping grain on the market
and to head off declines,"
Sumner said.
"Farmeri should make use
of their wheat and barley as
"Farmers should make
use of all available programs,
government and otherwise, to
store as much of their wheat
and barley as they possibly
can,"
Sumner said farmersarein
a position to build markets
for grains by working
together and keeping control
of their products until hlglier
prices can be negotiated to
offset higher costs of produc
tion. Three market-building
possibilities, he said, are
available to all farmers in
the county:
Use all available on-the-farm
facilities to store grains
and add capacity as needed
with government financing ar
ranged through the local ASCS
offices.
Store In elevators, and
warehouses whereever av
ailable, obtaining warehouse
receipts as Collateral for
loans front tanks or through
the local ASCS office.
Block grains In Inventory
with other farmers through
NFO for nationwide bargain
ing and for negotiating higher
price levels.
Sumner said all three ap
proaches make It possible for
farmers to obtain loans on
their grain and be In a pis
ition to market it at a high
er price later on.
"This allows farmers to
maintain control of grain nor
mally dumped on the mar
ket", Sumner said.
"It doesn't make sense for
farmers to stand by while the
trade buys up grain at low
prices and then joins the
government In dumping
enough on the market the
rest of the year to keep prices
cheap."

Our competitors think so
highly of Bronate as a broad
leaf weed killer in wheat and
other grain crops that they
want you to tank mix their
products with Bronate.
While we appreciate the
compliment, we don't neces
sarily go along with the rec
ommendation. Because while the addi
tion of less effective herbi
cides to Bronate may help the
other herbicides, it doesn't
help Bronate. Matter of fact, it
can hurt Bronate.
Unlike many other herbi-'
cides, Bronate kills your
weeds without damaging
your wheat. And tank-mixing
reduces Bronate's high de
gree of selectivity.
Also, unlike other herbi
cides, Bronate isn't restricted
to any particular soil type or
condition. And tank-mixing
limits Bronate's wide range
of application.
Use Bronate alone if your
weed problems include Tar
weed, Gromwell, Henbit,
Dogfennell, Crowfoot, Purple
Mustard, and the rest of the
Mustard family Or any of the
23 other kinds of weeds listed
on the Bronate label.
Our experience has
shown that Bronate used
alone has increased produc
tivity for Northwest wheat
farmers by as much as 20
bushels per acre.
Is it any wonder our
competitors recommend Bro
nate? For more information on
how Bronate can help you,
see your supplier or write Mr.
