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 "

The best oppositions to view Mars

As we approach the end of June and now that the National Basketball
Association playoffs are over the NBA prepares for ns annual college draft
(The draft will take place Tuesday, June 17 and will be over by the time
this column hits the new stands i
Fix the second year in a row the NBA lottery comes into effect Once
again the nch get richer, the poor get poorer
Philadelphia, which is annually among die league's elite, gets the first
pick in the draft
According to "The Oregonian." the 76'ers are going to pick North
Carolina's Brad Daugherty number one and project him as a power for
ward Daugherty, at 7’0 " is a fine player, hut the 76'ers already have
Charles Barkley (6 '7 ", 265 lbs ) at that position so what do they d o ' Start
Barkley and have Daugherty sit on the bench ’ Cast off veteran Julius Erv
mg. who at 37 wishes to play one more year’
The choice is obvious Dispose of center Moses Malone, he who makes
a nice 12 2 million a year is now trying to renegotiate his contract So.
why not get nd of a huge contract and draft 7'0" William Bedford of Mem
phis Slate, an ideal center1
After the 76'ers top pick, die Boston Celtics, winners of 16 NBA cham
pionships. including this year's draft second With Larry Bird and the rest
of die talent Boston has who could they possibly need ’ To start with, and
that's as far as you need to go. 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
