Grain For
Harvest on
Set Asides
As the result of the recent
removal of set aside require
ments for the wheat program
and one of the options under the
feed gram prgrums. Dave
McLend savs he would estimate
there would U an additional
25.000 to :u),ooo acres of barley
and white harvested in Morrow
County this harvest. Farmers
wouldn't be planting any more
acres but wouldn't use it as feed
hay or plow it under as have
teen required previously.
This is expected to put grain
on the market to fill export
needs. Export needs will be
determined by crops in Russia
and China, in a large part, Dave
savs.

snow removal. He was
quoting a statement made by
Judge Paul Jones.
Even with the threat of
serious wind erosion, local
people recognize the import
ance of this land use change to
stimulate economic growth and
to fully develop the natural
resources. They are aware that,
triggered by excessive wind
erosion from fields, adjoining
states are seriously considering
strict land use laws and this
could happen in Oregon.
He stated that erosion control
practices typically increase the
cost of crop production.
The establishment of a cover
crop on newly developed soil
requires a cost of $45 to $60 per
acre. It may also mean that a
crop cannot be grown for
harvest during the first year.
Mulching with straw or other
material involves a cost of $35 to
$55 per acre for materials and
spreading.
A windbreak of shrubs, grain
or wheatgrass could cost from
$'i to $7 per acre, but would have
limited effect in the early years.
In addition to this investment,
there would be the loss of the
use of the land involved.
The benefits of practices to
control wind erosion are usually
more difficult to measure.
There is the cost of not having
to replant a blown-out crop.
Saving the value of crop
production which is lost due to
damage inflicted by wind wnd
blowing soil is another example.
The decrease in windborne
loss of chemicals and nutrients
either applied or already avail
able to the crop is a potential
benefit.
Control practices may result
in reduced irrigation require
ments owing to less evaporation
loss.
Increase in crop yields could
also result from the more
favorable growing conditions.
He feels that a broad based
educational program should be
aimed at all segments of the
rural community to:
1. tell the farmer how he can
economically combat
erosion ;
2. tell the agribusiness com
munity, including lenders,
how important conserva
tion is and why new credit
terms may be needed;
3. tell the local citizens about
the economic and physical
problems involved and why
the "ideal" solution is not
always economically feasi
ble for the individual.
It behooves the farmer - he
concluded - to use whatever
data are available in determin
ing his farming practices. He
should provide for an economi
cal level of erosion control,
considering not only the present
but also the future effects of
these practices. If the economi
cal level of conservation from
the standpoint of the farmer
falls short of what is acceptable
to the community, some kind of
public assistance may be neces
sary to prevent pollution and
maintain the community's re
source base. Such public action
might include such measures as
a change in tax Jaws. An
improvement in credit
arrangements, or some type of
cost-sharing between farmers
and the government.
'A Tr
avuilable to older 4 H'crs.to be

program, young people must be
15 years or older and have leen

The awards program is ad

As the makeup of 411

change, so does the program.
Scholarships have steadily in
creased in value as college costs
have risen. In 1972, national
award winners received 2t!5
scholarships worth over

Recently, national awards in
