4-H Leader Salute...
Roberta Klaus
We often hear that the busiest people are the ones who
will take time to do the most for others...and looking down
our list of 4-H leaders, I believe this is true!
Our 4-H leader this week is such a person... Roberta
Klaus, Heppner. Her project area started with clothing, and
added foods! Her club started with about five kids, and now
includes 18. Her youth related interests and activities include
not only 4-H, but active support of the swim team and Little
League, just to mention a few! Her talents and abilities run
from helping build a new home.. .to almost anything! I've
even heard she is an expert on refinishing ceilings.
Roberta is always doing good things. ..and we are so glad
she has chosen 4-H leadership as one of the good things she
does!
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.

and catalogues may be ob
tained by calling or writing C

Kerr suggests Hyslop, McDer

Gaines, Nugaines and Wanser

Goetze. Twin and Fielder are
good white wheat varieties.
