Morrow County [Grain Growers.*« Ph *SV »221 I (*O C ) 452 7 34* Watch beef market data closely says Ag agent The IVHA Farm Bill, the dairy ter mination program, and record meat production are combining to make 1986 one big roller coaster ride where beef prices are concerned ac cording to Fred l.undin. Morrow County Extension Agent "Farm prices for Livestock are lower than many analysts and pro ducers expected them to be in the spring of 1986." said l.undin "One of the reasons for this, obviously, is that we have a lot of meat total meat of all kinds -on this market "The projections from Oregon State University are that we'll have a record year, with respect to meal production, again in 1986. die fourth record year in a row," Uundin said In addition, the dairy termination program has increased the number of dairy cows that will be slaughtered in 1986 However, there is uncertainty as to the exact tunc these cows will be slaughtered and this has raised some havoc, at least in the short run. with the cow market On the other hand, the 1985 farm hill requires the USDA to purchase 4(X) million pounds of beef during the 18 month dairy termination pro gram in an effon to try to cancel out any kind of negative price impact the dairy termination program may have on the beef industry Of course, the government beef purchases arc intended to bring beef prices up. and Oregon State Univer sity economists believe lhat year end price averages will show that the USDA action succeeded "The trouble is that the USDA purchases won't be made at exactly the same lime that the additional cow kill, called for by the dairy termina lion program, comes on," l.undin said "What we re seeing is cows be ing killed this week and as a result prices going down, and then maybe two or three weeks afterwards. USDA will come in and pucha.se quite a bit of cow beef causing prices to go up." l.undin continued "This scenario will make for a volatile price picture in 1986." he said Beef producers can best cope with this fluctuating price situation by staying informed "Producers should really nuke a spec tal effort to stay up on marketing infomadon that' important to their business." he said " And last but not least, the planning dates for the sale of their livestoc k should be flexible "Don't just look into the teeth of (his nurket and bull ahead," said l.undin "You've got to be careful, and take vmie time collecting market information Even though prices may be down today, they nuy rise suddenly. Be patient and consider marketing alternatives " _______________________ 3y Ashley Conklin Wednesday Ladles Low gross Neoma Bailey Second low gross Jan Paustian Low net Harriet Evans and Vem Baity. least putts-Mary Beamer.

Boston needs help at the center spot Robert Parish is 32 and Bill Walton 33. If Bedford is available look for die Celtics to pick him or Chris Washburn of North Carolina Slate Golden Stale, a league doormat for years gets the number three pick Under die old system Golden St would have at least the number two pick. but it's better than last year when they picked seventh "The Oregonian" reported dial die Wamors were interested in Washburn who's coming out «if N C State after only his sophomore year Of all the mistakes the Warriors have made, this would he the worst as they already have Joe Barry Carroll as their big guy Point guard is their biggest need at the moment and there's a good one available in Syracuse's Duayne "P earl" Washington who could then team with Chris Mullin (their pick last year) in die backcourt The Indiana Pacers pick fourth and arc looking at Lcn Bias of Maryland, die best small forward in die draft Here is another gross mistake as In diana is nch at all three front c»xirt positions The Pacers need backcourt help and should pick either Washington or Duke's Johnny [Jawkins The New York Knicks pick next and arc after Chuck Pcrvin of Auburn A smart choice due to die injury problems to Bernard King Look for the Knicks to tfxxisc a center in the second round to hack up Patnck Ewing Phexinix picks next and takes the second smart choice in a row in Ron Harper from Miami (Ohio) A great scorer who can replace Waller Davis and make him available for a trade as the Suns could use either a center or power forward Dallas is up next and goes hack to a dumb pick They want Walter Berry of St John's, but where will he play1 A backup point guard would do nice ly and how about Steve Mitchell (Alabama Birmingham! or Mark Price (Georgia Tech) The eighth pick belongs to Cleveland, and the Cavs want Kenny Walker, everybixly's All-American from Kentucky Another g«xxl choice as Cleveland needs some drastic help on the boards Pick number nine belongs to Chicago who would like to team Dawkins with Michael Jorday in the backcourt An okay pick if Dawkins is still around, but the Bulls need front line help and John Salley of Georgia Tech (7’0 " , 231 lbs ) would make a good center or great power forward Roy Tarpley, 6 '1 I" from Michigan would be a great pick for San An tonio at the 10th spot with Artis Gilmore (soon to be 37) not getting any younger Detroit will pick next and wants the height of Ohio State's Brad Sellers (TO") reportedly the man Portland wnats Oh well, if Salley is still around at number 14 (Portland's pick) the Trailblazcrs will not be hurt Sandwiched in between the I Ith and 14th picks are Washington at number 12 and New Jersey at 13 The Bullets like John Williams of Louisiana State, a good power forward at only 19 The Nets hope Washington is still around at number 13 If he's not, who knows who New Jersey wants1 Following Portland. Utah picks 15th. Denver 16th, and 18th Sacramen to 17th. Atlanta 19th. Houston 20th, Philadelphia again at 21. Milwaukee 22nd. the Los Angeles Lakers 23rd. and then Portland picks again at number 24 to close out the first round The Blazers are leaning towards Montana's Larry Krystkowiak, a tough competitor on die boards Another solid choice for the Blazers Seattle and the Los Angeles Clippers don't have any first round picks, but that may change Portland is interested in Seattle's Jack Sikma and could skip their first pick at number 14 and Mychal Thompson for Sikma. pick at number 24, and still not be hurt We'll know everything (maybe) after Tuesday Next week: a brief run through the NBA draft and a previes of Wimbledon Now on HEPPNER T.V.
