Ray French named to NCA tax committee Raymond French, Heppner, was recently appointed a member of the taxation com mittee of the National Cattle men's Association (NCA), according to NCA President Richard A. McDougal. French and other committee mem bers from across the nation will be responsible for the development and implemen tation of policy in the tax area. "One objective of NCA," said McDougal, "is to accur ately reflect the interests and concerns of cattlemen throughout the country. One way this is done is through committees. French and other committee members who serve on NCA's 13 standing committees are the eyes and ears of the association. And this is as it should be. Working cattlemen, who best under stand industry problems, are most qualified to develop and articulate the proper solutions to industry problems." French, who operates a cattle ranch business, is active in the Oregon Cattle men's Association, where he was elected first vice presi dent last November. The main thrust of NCA is in . government affairs at the national level. McDougal has encouraged cattlemen to serve on industry association committees at the local, state and national level. He has suggested that cattlemen get more involved in the legisla tive process. Grain reserve plan expected to bolster market prices "The grain reserve pro gram gives farmers a chance to get their grain off the market and wait for better prices," Stewart Smith, asso ciate administrator of USDA's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) said. "It's a good method for farmers to help themselves get the price of grain up, and it also gives us the reserve in times of scarcity." Farmers can extend their matured grain loans for three years and receive storage payments of 20 cents per bushel for wheat, corn, sor ghum and barley, and 15 cents per bushel for oats. Grain may be stored on the farm or in commercial warehouses for the three years or until the release level is reached. The release mechanism insulates the reserve grain from the market, Smith said. For wheat, the release level is attained when the national average market price reaches 140 per cent of the loan level. At this time, the farmer is free TV Sim 1 Iff J YM tv --.W f& ml ft f I' 4T.H m ft :, im a u "i m mm - , - m t a. ,i.

In the case of feed grains, the release level is 125 per cent of the loan, and will be called in when the national average market price reaches 140 per cent of the loan level. "We will notify farmers when these levels are reached," Smith said. To keep their grain in good condition during storage, farmers are allowed to rotate stock.
