USDA announces changes in farm
storage facility loan program
The U.S. Department of Ag
riculture has changed its farm
storage facility loan program
to increase the number of
farmers eligible for storage
loans. Secretary John Block
said recently.
Block said the changes will
enable the USDA to lend farm
ers money to build facilities to
store up to two years produc
tion of eligible crops. Ths
facilities will be in addition to
any present on-farm facilities
being used to store grain held
in the grain reserve program.
Previously, farmers were lim
ited to borrowing to build
storage for one year's crop,
including storage used for the
reserve program.
Block said only farmers who
participated in USDA's acre
age reduction program would
be eligible for the program.
New loans will be limited to
Cut firewood now
Woodcutting conditions on
the Heppner Ranger District

stuck that they did earlier.
Dog loses eye in bout
with porcupine

A quilled visitor dropped by the Jim Lankford residence at
280 N. Court in Heppner on Wednesday, Aug. 15. The
Lankfords don't know how the porcupine got into their back
yard, but their dog. Peppermint Patty, probably hopes it
won't return.
The dog had a run-in with the animal and apparently the
dog lost. Patty ended up with a face full of quills and lost an
eye.
The Lankfords' son, Jimmer, took the porcupine to the
mountains and turned it loose.

a maximum of $25,000. but on
a case-by-case basis, farmers
who have reserve grain stored
on their farm and who have
outstanding storage facility
loans will be allowed to carry
an aggregate loan balance of
up to $50,000, Block said. For
example, if a farmer had a
$30,000 outstanding farm facil
ity loan, the maximum he or
she could borrow with a new
loan is $20,000.
The secretary said that an
other change provides that
soybean production can be
counted in determining stor
age needs under the program
provided there is a crop on the
farm that is eligible for the
reserve program.
"We decided to make these
program changes after re
viewing the current storage
situation and prospects for
record feed grain and soybean
People are urged to cut now
and avoid the crowds that are
common later in the year, said
Warren Plocharsky of the
Heppner district. Woodcutters

crops. Farmers face a severe
storage problem this year,"
Block said. "These changes
will help producers use the
facility loan program ahead of
harvest and will allow them to
market their crops in a more
orderly fashion.
Farmer-elected county Ag
ricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Services will
have the authority to limit the
loan commitment period to
assure farmers intend to erect
the new facility in the near
future.
Last month. USDA announ
ced it would resume approval
of new applications for farm
storage facility loans, up to a
total of $40 million. With the
exception of the changes an
nounced today, all other pro
visions of that program will
remain the same. Block said.
December 15.
The fall rain and snow can
be avoided by cutting now
when the weather is good.
The wood will also have time
to dry properly and will pro
duce more heat this winter.
Material cut in the fall will be
wetter; it will produce less
heat and more soot, he said.
Firewood areas have been
designated and marked with
signs. Cutting is permitted
only in these areas. The maps
that are a part of the permit
show the location of these
areas and explain what mater
ial may be cut. These permits
are free when wood is for
personal use. Permits are
available on a self service
basis at the district office at
all times, seven days a week.
State laws require a permit in
possession whenever wood is
being cut or transferred.
Problems with illegal and
improper wood cutting are
increasing. Some of these
problems include cutting live

wood cut on a free personal

vity results in increased cost
of administration. If the pro
gram is to continue, everyones
cooperation is needed. Forest
Service personnel will be pat
rolling on weekends as well as
weekdays to insure that cut
ting is done legally and only In
designated areas. Cutting in
the wrong place or cutting the
wrong material can result in
violators being cited into Fed

cases have resulted in sen
tences ranging from $100 to
$1,500 and probation. In ad

ed. Confiscated wood is distri
