Birkby is looking at are Todd
Lindsay. Ryan Duncan, and Dirk
Devin
Birkby looks at his offensive line
to gain tremendous experience this
season and get better wtih each
game ' The option will be new to the
linemen, but they should be able to
pick it up and become more produc
tive as the season progresses, he
replied
Birkby expects one thing of his
defense this year
We must tackle
better.” he remarked
Riverside Boardman I won the
Columbia Basin Conference a year
ago with Wahtonka of The Dalles
finishing second
Birkby looks at
Umatilla to take the CBC crown this
year "They tl'm atilla' are return
mg a lot of people which gives them
a big advantage
Riverside and
Wahtonka should battle it out for the
second spot
Whereas last year's team finished
with a tV9 record. Birkby looks for
his team to improve this season
“ When you finish with an <F9 record
you can't do any ting but im prove
Me II win a few games this season
and should finish about in the middle
of the pack in the CBC
he said
I've been pleased with the en
thusiasm of the team and the high
spirits thus far Hopefully this will
carry into the season." the coach

Farm stored grain requires quality
checks, |n>{XT maintenance
With more than I 844.245 bushel*
of loan grain stored on Morrow
County Farms. Judy Buschke.
Executive Director. Morrow County
\SCS today urged producers to
continue to check the quality of their
farm stored grain to assure that it
remains in good condition
"Proper maintenance of farm
stored grain
whether it's in the
grain reserve or under loan is the
full responsibility of the farmer, she
said When wheat or other grains
are stored on the (arm for extended
periods, regular inspections are
required in order to detect insect
infestation or grain deterioration
The market value of infested wheat
may lie substantially reduced if the
insect damage is sufficient to lower
the grain quality
Buschke said ASCS is currently
inspecting random samplings of
wheat, and barley in the reserve
Where problems exist, producers
will be instructed to recondition the
grain, rotate it with new crops or
repay the loan
Farmers should
not rely on our spot checks as a
substitute lor their regular inspre
lions however "
The ASCS official said
Wo
expect farmers to continue good
managmrnt practices and regular
inspections to protect and maintain
the quality of farm stored grain
The slightest relaxation of these
procedures could result in slorabil
ity problems and poor quality gram
Anytime farmers are in doubl as lo
the quality of loan gram, they should
contact our office at once
Farmers are also reminded to
obtain ASCS aulhori/alion before
commingling rotating moving or
selling gram under loan Penalties
will lie imposed when the grain is
remove or disposed of before repay
ment or before a release authori
zation is obtained from ASCS
