USDA To Start Export
Sales Reports July 6
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) announced
that it will begin a weekly series
of reports on grain and soybean
export sales July 6, 1973.
USDA’s Statistical Reporting
Service (SRS) stated the reports
will show total export sales made
each week and cumulative totals
by marketing year of shipment.
Commodities covered in the
reports will be wheat by classes,
corn, grain sorghum, barley,, and
soybeans. The reporting program
will be based on responses to
questionnaires sent weekly to all
known exporters.
The reports will be issued each
Friday with a one-week time lag
between the end of the reporting
week and the appearance of the
sales data in the published
summary. The July 6th release
will report forward sales com
mitted prior to June 30, 1973.
Changes from the proposed
program announced earlier
reflect suggestions offered by the
industry and others in response to
the earlier'request for comments.
Currently, such export sales
information is not available. A
weekly report of export sales
should assist farmers, exi
porters, and government officials
Uni-Forage Harvester.
Big capacity, separate blower,
competitive price—plus!
+ -M0
Uni-Forage Harvester
This Uni-Forage Harvester is priced the
way you like it. Competitive with other
self-propelled choppers.
The separate blower means the cutter head
doesn’t have to double as a blower And
the spout is closer to the wagon, so forage
is saved on turns, in contoured fields, and
in crosswinds. Spout direction is hydraulic
ally controlled.
Three upper feed rolls and six spiral knives
