Grain Beginning March 1, farmers will no longer have to wait for their 1977-crop barley, oats and wheat loans to mature, or for their purchase agreements to expire, to participate in the grain reserve program, ac cording to Judy Buschke, Acting County Executive Di rector for the Morrow County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Commit tee. Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland has announced that starting March 1, these 1977 crops may be placed immediately into the grain reserve. Early entry of the 1977-crop corn and sorghum will be announced later. The grain reserve program serves as a new marketing tool for farmers. Instead of selling their grain at low market prices, farmers can place it in the reserve pro gram, receive storage pay ments, and wait for prices to increase. By using the reserve to isolate supplies from the marketplace when they are excessive, farmers are help ing to get grain prices up. Under the program, farm ers enter into a contract with the government for a three year period, and receive annually, in advance, a stor age payment of 20 cents per bushel for wheat, corn, sor ghum and barley, and 15 cents per bushel for oats. Farmers in return, must agree to hold their grain off the market at least until the price reaches an established level or the contract expires. Farmers with 1976-crop bar ley, oats and wheat not yet from the C & B Simmental Breeding Program will be offered at 10:30 a.m. Reservations, programs and catalogues may be ob tained by calling or writing C & B Livestock, Inc.
