i'pWiilJii pf pj- p Above average crop predicted Construction continues at co-generation plant The Heppner Gazette-Time, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June H, IBM-THREE Crop prospect look good for this year's harvest because we have had good amounts of moisture end are having ideal weather now while the wheat heads arc filling out, said Larry Mills of Morrow County Grain Growers. This year's crop will probably be as good as last year's, and, in some areas, maybe even better. It will be an above-average crop, Mills predicts that there will be adequate storage In the area to handle the crop, al though we will be going into harvest with storage already at 75 percent capacity because low wheat prices caused the big carry over from last year's crop on both the Farm er Held Reserve and Regular Loan Program. Mills says that even with that much carryover, storage needs will be met with the use of extensive outside covered storage. He explains that the grain is placed on the ground and covered with a heavy plastic which is anchored with old tires. An aeration system accomplished by two fans, one at either end of the pile keeps air circulating through the wheat which helps to keep the cover down and also to keep the grain cool and in condition.
