14—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 2, 1975 Harvest concluded | Continued from Page 1| “One very definite ob servation,” Flory said, “is that Redcoat the old standby in Lancaster County did not sprout nearly as bad as did Abe and Arthur.” He also reported that Redcoat yielded more straw. “Sprouting was a very localized problem,” he added. Millers told Lancaster Farming that farmers as a whole are “disappointed” with their crop. Besides the lower prices some growers had to accept, they also recorded lower yields, lower weights, higher moisture, and poorer protein quality. Color of the kernels is also “off”. One miller noted that the damage was not as bad as expected. “It has been bad,” he commented, “but it varied.” He noted that one farmer’s wheat was sprouted so bad, he could only offer him $1.95 per bushel. “The mills are really discounting for sprouted wheat,” he continued.

According to some reports, a few millers weren’t taking any sprouted wheat at all, but this in formation was contradicted by other sources who claimed all millers had to take a little because so much of the wheat was snrouted One miller expressed surprise over the moisture content of grains delivered to his mill. “Things went as good as could be expected,” he said, “and moisture was surprisingly good.” While he reported a figure of 13.5 per cent moisture for most of his incoming crop, another miller reported “high” moisture percentages ranging from 14.5 to nearly 18 per cent, with the majority of samples checking m at 15 to 16 per cent. Estimates of weights for this year’s wheat harvest ranged from 50 to 57 pounds. The yield per acre was anywhere between 30 and 40 bushels, according to most accounts. * MOUNTVILLE FEED SERVICE RO2 Columbia PA VAN MAR FEEDS INC Lees port PA The uncertainty about prices has several factors connected to it, including prospects for additional gram sales to Russia, the sprout problem, and previous experiences of wheat growers. In 1973 most grain farmers sold their wheat early, only to find out later that they should have waited because large amounts of exports caused the price to rise sharply. A year later, an ticipating similar sales overseas, farmers held on to their crop. They again lost out because prices dropped as exports failed to materialize. This year farmers seem to be split both ways, with some selling early, and others holding on. Flory estimated the division to be about fifty-fifty. Bakers are as nervous about prices as are farmers and millers. Therefore the stalemate continues. Futures prices have dropped some, and no one was sure where or when it will stop. Flory noted that prices climbed from $2.50 to $3.50 earlier m the season, but have dropped again in some cases to below $3.00. The sprouted wheat will definitely have an effect on milling quality of flour; it will have to be blended with good wheat. Although no one expressed definite certainty about how successfully this mixture could be utilized as flour, most rtullers ex pressed optimism. “It had better work,” one em phasized, who took in 9,000 bushels of the sprouted kernels. He indicated that “much of the good stuff was literally washed out of the sprouted variety.”. Almost all millers favor wheat exports to Russia, and it was claimed that most farmers are okaying these sales. Flory opmiomzed on the subject briefly, saying that if we did not export wheat, it would weaken our trade balance, the dollar, and American agriculture. “The American public should get over their hang-up about selling wheat to , Russia,” he said. In concluding his remarks, Flory said; “Thank God we got it in. The crop was pretty well salvaged.” He con fessed that his null, like many others, had to run 24 hours a day, and that now “it’s nice to have a little bit of leisure.” B&W /Continued from Page 1/ champion cow - Solanco - Acres Kenny Princess.
