TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 18, 1993 Engagements Wheat crop one of best ever M orrow County G rain Growers has a problem -too much wheat. "W e have 1.5 million bushels of grain in piles at the river and at the North Lexington elevator,” noted John Ripple, o f MCGG. “ This is certainly one of the best crops in recent years and for some growers, the best crop ever,” he added. Grain quality has been good with test weights of wheat ex ceeding 58 lbs. and protein levels generally low. Steptoe barley test weights were mostly in the 48 lb. area. “ Along with the good 1993 crop has been a recent fall in price to around $3.40 (Portland price) per bushel for soft white wheat. A fairly large inventory of soft white wheat will likely hinder the market.” suspects Ripple. “ Reports of disease have been noted throughout the Columbia Plateau in recent weeks. Straw breaker footrot and Cephalosporium stripe seem to be most common,” noted Mor- mw/Gilliam area crops agent Phil Nesse. Nesse went on to say “ disease problems have been especially a problem in the upper elevations. Stephens winter wheat has been most affected, primari ly by strawbreaker footrot. Strawbreaker causes incomplete filling of wheat heads and lodg ing of the grain.” Cephalosporium stripe has been a bigger problem in the western part of the Columbia Plateau. W e’ve seen some Cephalosporium in some of the heavier soils, how ever. Cephalosporium can cause severe yield loss and will require a three year rotation out of winter wheat where it is an extreme problem. Most fields were able to take advantage of the wet, cool w eather,” concluded Nesse. “ Hopefully we’ve seen the end of the recent drought and we’ve entered a normal weather cycle.” Main Street, sewer Coordinating Council agenda topics Gary Marks will review the status of the Main Street improve ment project and the sewer system project at next week’s regular meeting of the Heppner Coordinating Council.
