BMCC board sets
1982-83 budget
The 1982-83 operating bud
get for Blue Mountain Com
munity College was formally
adopted March 22 by the
college board of education
following a public hearing on
the proposed 6.2 increase, it
was recently announced in a
BMCC news release.
College President Ron
Daniels recommended to the
board that no effort be made
to adjust the budget in
anticipation of the loss of state
funding until the legislature
had made a final decision
about state funding of com
munity colleges. He reminded
the board that the proposed
college budget reflected a
$113,522 cut in state funding.
As soon as the level of state
funding is known, "we will
reduce college expenditures
equal to the reduction in state
funds," the president told the
board. He added that a further
loss of $24,000 to BMCC may
be possible before the legisla
tive session ends.
The budget figure set by the
board totalled $5,417,027. A
property tax levy of $3,118,177
will be considered by the
voters of Umatilla and Mor
row counties on March 30 to
balance this budget.
The levy per $1 .000 true cash
value is up 18 cents from the
current years levy of $1.42. An
owner of a $50,000 home would
be assessed $80 to support the
college for the year, the news
release stated.
In regular business, the
board accepted a bid from
Executone Telephone Systems
to install a new college
telephone system. Figures
compiled by the college show
ed that over the first five-year
period with the new system,
the college would save $11,635.
This amount assumes a 10
percent annual increase in
Pacific Northwest Bell rates,
the system currently serving
the college.
The news release continued
by stating that at the end of
the first five years, the college
would own the new system.
The annual savings for the
sixth year would be $29,872.
The board also accepted the
Sabbatical Leave Commit
tee's recommendation that
Don Allen, political science
instructor, be granted a sab
batical leave from the college
for the 1982-83 school year. In
granting the leave, the board
stipulated that the leave would
be granted if funding is still
available after the college
knows what the level of state
funding will . be and if the
budget passes in March. All
sabbaticals granted are also
contingent on the college's
being able to find a suitable
replacement for the instruc
tor. In other business, the col
lege board:
- voted to oppose a plan
currently being considered by
the Oregon Community Col
lege Association which would
allow the association to en
dorse political candidates.
- heard a construction
up-date from architect Jim
Lynch on the Morrow Hall
addition and remodeling pro
ject. The board approved
recommended change orders
on the projects.
- reviewed the college's
quarterly financial statement.
- approved agreements
with Eastern Oregon Hospital
and Training Center and Good
Shepherd Hospital to provide
training facilities for the
college's nursing program.

Secretary of Agriculture
John R. Block recently imple
mented and outlined the
provisions for a voluntary 15
percent acreage reduction
program for the 1982 wheat
crop. He also said USDA
would allow Immediate entry
of the 1982 crop into the
farmer-owned grain reserve.
To become eligible for
government price support
loans, target price protection
and the farmer-owned reserve
program, farmers must re
duce their plantings 15 percent
from an established base. No
direct payments will be made
for the acreage reduction, it
was announced in a recent
USDA news release.
The target price for 1982
wheat will be $4.05 per bushel.
Loan rates will be $3.55 per
bushel for grain placed under
the regular loan program and
$4 per bushel for 1982-crop
wheat entered into the farmer
owned reserve.
Farmers can enter the 1982
crop immediately into the
reserve without waiting for
their regular loans to mature.
USDA storage payments will
be 26' i cents per bushel for
wheat placed in the reserve.
Wheat will be released from
the reserve when the average
price received by farmers
reaches $4.65 per bushel.
Block said U.S. wheat sup
plies are 14 percent above last
year and next June's carry
over is expected to be nearly
one billion bushels. This is the
result of two successive
record U.S. wheat crops and a
recordsetting 1981 world har
vest. Block said the reduced
acreage program - coupled
with an aggressive export
program - will strengthen
prices by reducing the 1982-83
marketing year supplies.
Participating farmers must
reduce their acreage of wheat
planted for harvest by at least
15 percent from an established
wheat base. Generally, the
base will be the higher of
either the 1981 wheat acreage
or the average of the 1980-81
wheat acreages. However, for
farms that have been follow
ing a definite crop rotation
pattern, the base will reflect
such rotations.
The acreage taken from
production must be devoted to
conservation uses. For
example, a farmer with a 1981
planted acreage of 100 acres
must plant no more than 85
acres of wheat for 1982
harvest, for program eligibil
ity, ine remaining 15 acres
(17.65 percent of 85 acres)
must be devoted to conserva
tion, stated U S D A.
If the farmer plants fewer
than the permitted 85 acres,
he or she will be permitted to
devote fewer acres to conser
vation. For example, if only 50
acres are planted, only 8.8
acres (17.65 percent of 50) will

have to go to conservation.
The land taken from produc
tion and devoted to conserva
tion must be. eligible cropland,
protected from wind and
water erosion. Acreage which
has already been planted to
wheat, and then designated as
reduced acreage, may be cut
for hay or grazed.
Otherwise, acreage design
ated to meet the conservations
requirement may not be
mechanically harvested and
grazing will not be permitted
during the six principal grow
ing months. No payments will
be made for land devoted to
conservation.
Neither offsetting com
pliance nor cross compliance
will be required. This means
that farmers owning or oper
ating more than one farm will
not be required to participate
on ull farms in order to obtain
program benefits on partici
pating farms. Also, participa
tion In the wheat program is
not required to qualify for
program benefits on other
crops grown on the farm. I
