Over 50 farmers attend lone wheat seminar The Heppner Gaiette-Timet, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, February 25, 1982-THRRE By BOB COSTA Morrow Co. Rxlrniilon Agent The Oregon Slate University i Extension Service Wheat Seminar made its annual Journey to the lone Grange "Hall early this month. The seminar, also known as the Dog and Pony Show, was co-sponsored by the Morrow County Wheat Growers League, More than fifty wheat grow ers heard about current re search and other Items of interest to farmers. Dale Wilkens, from the Experiment Station near Pen dleton, discussed grain drill opener design for better seed distribution, fertilizer place ment, residue management and soil moisture retention. Wilkens has modified a John Deere HZ opener to place fertilizer in a band below the seed. Wilkins reported that banding nitrogen and phos phorus fertilizer below the seed increased the yield of spring wheat more than the same amount of fertilizer broadcast on the surface. Wilkins also reported that banding of fertilizer will allow for lower rates of nitrogen. "Fertilizer placement can be especially advantageous in no-till and minimum tillage situations because the fertiliz er is placed near the seed and 4-HDog Club begins ByJOHNNORDHEIM County Ettennion Agent Cheryl Mc Bride of Heppner, is looking for dog owners to join her 4-H Dog Club. Members will learn the care and training of their dog. Members may start with a pup or an older dog. 4 H dog classes will be added at this year's Morrow County Fair. Members may apply for the care and training of a guide dog for the blind. In this program, the 4 H member starts out with a puppy, bred for helping the blind. The puppy becomes part of the family and attends most functions that the family attends. At the end of the training period the dog is sent to "college" to learn speci fically how to cope and care for a blind person. To be in 411, the potential member needs to be in the fourth grade or above, not to have completed the 12th grade. If you are interested in learning more about joining this new club, call either Cheryl McBnde at 676-5254 or John Nordheim at 676-9642.

Terry Townsend. a graduate student at OSU, discussed changes In the price of wheat as it moves from the farm to consumers in Japan. Terry reKil td lliat ' the Japanese government pays Japanese wheat growers $26 a bushel to encourage more wheat pro duction and less rice. John Oodos of the Oregon Wheal Growers league dis cussed the new Oregon Grain Lien Law. The bill places an automatic lien on grain sold by farmers for a period of 90 days. Farmers can extend the lien for an additional 90 days if they file the proper forms with the Secretary of State. The liiw applies only to wheat that Ik sold, not wheal in storage. "We're belter off but not all the way home." Oades said. Norm Goelze. OSU Exten sion agronomist, reported on STKKP research. STEKP Rlands for Solutions to Envi ronmental and Economic Pro blems, and is a coordinated three slate research effort. Goelze reported that there was no difference in the nitrogen availability to fall planted wheat when the stub hie was worked In the previous fall or in the spring. Goetze discussed the work of research scientist Betty Klepper and Ron Hickman of the Pendleton Experiment Station. Man has been growing wheat for 7.000 years, but not until Klepper and Rlckman delved Into the plant's behav ior has anyone come up with the basic information on exactly how it develops. Goelze said. Jim Cornelius, OSU Exten sion economist, reported on his analysis of 73 wheat marketing stratefies. Cornel ius developed a computer program that outlines the risk versus the potential returns of each marketing strategy, ' "Generally, the higher the return, the higher the risk." said Cornelius. Cornelius reported that In the past, the lowest prices for soft while wheat have been during May and June. Sales lale in the marketing year tend to give lower returns when storage costs are con sidered, but participation in farm programs may offset this, said Cornelius. Cornelius Is writing an Extension publication on wheat marketing strategies that will be available in a few months. Dave Hoist. OSU Extension economist, discussed the use of computers in farm manage ment. Hoist brought a com puter with him and demon strated some programs that are useful to farmers. ran ton F g$.-at'our ily SaB.
