Boeing will test
new grain: May
cut feed costs
Noting the deep cut in profits
of both dairymen and beef
cattle industry from sky rocket
ing feed prices. State Director
of Agriculture Irvin Mann, Jr..
told members of the Farmers"
Cooperative Creamery of Mc
Minnville February 17 that a
feed grain pilot program the
Boeing Company will carry out
this year offers more than a ray
of hope.
Speaking at the cooperative
annual meeting the director
said the Boeing Company has
purchased enough seed from a
private seed company of a new.
high yielding, feed grain for the
planting of 100 acres in Morrow
County. The grain, reputed to
yield between three and and a
half and four tons to the acre is
to be planted this spring and
will be grown under the circle
ty pe of irrigation.
This new grain, if successful,
could be raised profitably under
irrigation for as low as S50 a ton.
Mann said.
In contrast barley is now
worth S75 a ton and this coupled
with the high price of hay is
pushing feed costs up so much it
is making the lot of dairy men
and beef cattle industry more
difficult than it has been in
years.
The new feed grain, identified
as NP-3. is a derivative of the
original Triticale, a cross be
tween the Durum wheat and
ry e. and has the advantage of
having stalks only about 18
inches in height, unlike the
original Triticale.
The Boeing Company, when it
announced its intention of
putting part of its land into
agricultural use, had avowed its
intention of using the land as a
model farm for pilot programs
for Oregon agriculture. Mann
noted, and said that this pilot
feed grain program was a
major indication that the
company intenaed to Keep its
pledge.
The trouble with today's
individualists is that they're
getting harder and harder to tell
apart.
That when lower Long Distance
rates begin on weekdays.
The best time to share the good times in the
northwest is after 5 PM on weekdays. That's w hen
lower Long Distance rates begin. And that s when
vou're likely to find friends and family at home.
So go ahead and spread the good word
Long Distance calls get people together.
