Crop year changes in
market calendar noted
"Farmers using the De
partment of Agriculture's
June supply and demand
reports should make special
note of a change in the crop
year for wheat, oats, barley,
rye and flaxseed." according
to David MrLrod, County Ex
ecutive Director of the Agri
cultural Stabilization and
Dmservation Service office.
"Because data for these
crops will be reported on the
basis of a new marketing
year, beginning June 1, a
month earlier than in the past,
it may be difficult to make
comparisons with prior
years," Mcleod said.
"Stocks, or beginning car
ryover of old crop to the new
marketing year, will be larger
than would have normally
been reported at the beginning
of the former July 1 crop year
since usage for June will not
be accounted for at the end of
the new reporting period n

beginning stin ks appear lar

Farmers should be alert to
the change when the new
marketing year reports are
released on June 22 and Z,"
