It is estimated that Harney County will be short at least 50% in hay production and Fall and Winter will hr very short also. It has teen br xight to m> at tention that a supplemental feed can tv bought through the ASCS office, if Harney County is de clared a disaster area. 1 have heard of hay teing shipped into Haraey County at a price of $40-$ 50 a ton. The real prob lem is that it is getting harder to find and the price is going higher each day. We are ia a time when stockmen should not sell cows and reduce produc tive. However, if they cannot find W inter feed this will hap- P«- If we can get supplemental feed througt the ASCS pr.<ram, it will help relieve this situa tion. Therefore, »e are asking that Harney County tv decla red a disaster area. As President of the Oregon Cattlemec's Association I am asking veur sigport for this program. Ttr Aigt a copy of this letter, I am mforcunc other county livestock associations of this action. I am sure other Oregon cownces are experiencing simi lar drought protiems. No foubt we will tv heir mg from them asking for similar relief Suscerelv.
