Producers may get wheat reserves Producers may continue to redeem wheat from the farm er owned grain reserve at least through Aug. 31, it was announced today, but the authorization to remove corn and sorghum from the reserve was withdrawn. Storage will continue for any reserve sorghum or corn loans not repaid during the release period. Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland said that al though the mid-month prices for corn and sorghum report ed by the Economics, Statis tics and Cooperative Service (ESCS) are above the release levels $2.73 per bushel for corn and $4.69 per hundred weight for sorghum market prices for the two feed grains have been on a downtrend since mid-July. In addition, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) daily average adjusted prices on July 30 were below the release level for both corn and sorghum. The $2.44 5-day moving average price for corn was 6 cents per bushel below the $2.50 release level while the $4.21 sorghum price was 3 cents under the $4.24 per hundredweight release level. There is one exception in which a producer may redeem corn and sorghum from the reserve without penalty. No penalty will be assessed if a farmer, before being notified thatrele is ' inated, has negotii' ' a i..,.. .f. de sales contract nich calls for deli very within 90 days. However, storage will stop for these loans on July 31. For wheat, both the AMS and ESCS prices are above the $3.29 per bushel release level. The AMS daily average ad justed price on July 30 was $3.57 and the ESCS mid-month price was $3.95. Storage earn ing stopped for reserve wheat loans on June 30 in all states. Since wheat was released from the reserve May 16, producers have redeemed 133.9 million bushels, 32.4 percent of the 432 million which were then in the reserve. Corn was released June 19 and 89.3 million bushels (12.2 percent) of the 732 million bushels have been taken out. For sorghum, released June 22, producers have removed 11.9 million hundredweight (26.8 percent) of the 44.3 million hundredweight. Fat Stock sale set for Tues.

Manager Rose McCoy says the office has a phone that allows callers to be given a recorded message if the office is closed. If McCoy is out on a drive test, in some other town to give drive tests, or is ill or on vacation, the message tells callers the office is closed and when the manager will be back. The messages save people from making a trip to the office, particularly if they live out of town, only to find it closed. The phones have been installed in all one person DMV offices in the state. The phone number in Hep-' pner is 676-5165.
