The federal government should take over all farm land property. This system offers unlimited possibilities. You will be able to keep on far ming, but you won’t have to invest one cent of your own Swine future uncertain HOUSTON, Tex. - Glenn Grimes, University of Missouri Extension economist, warns swine producers that marketing uncertainties would face them in 1978. Grimes, speaking at the swine conference during the 59th annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said; “The size of producing units is getting larger. They are increasing at the approximate rate of seven per cent per year. “One larger unit is known to have 20,000 sows,” he said, “and probably the ceiling hasn’t been reached yet.” Large* hog units are not uncommon and many are over 10 years old, but most are specialized-type units, he explained. Also Grimes said more than 50 per cent raise no feed grain, this means grain for hog feed is a cash constant in the hog industry. With stable to higher grain prices and mcreased hog production expected in 1978, Grimes looks for the following price trends: First Quarter: 20 million money. The best part of all is that you will be paid a guaranteed salary and everything you need to operate would be supplied by the government. So, if we farmers cannot solve our problems on our own, there is always someone who will - and NOT ALWAYS TO OUR AD VANTAGE! Yours truly Willard Greene Glens Falls, N.Y. expected slaughter, $3B-41 expected price; Second Quarter million, $36-39; Third Quarter: 21 million, $35-37; Fourth quarter: 22 million $35. Grimes believes with a trend to larger producing units, swine producers could see an eventual change in marketing and pricing patterns. XXX RETROACTIVE ALLOWANCE The IRS rule allowing 17 cents a mile £or the first 15,000 miles of business use of a vehicle is retroactive to January 1, 1977. Employees who have been reimbursed at less than the new allowable rate should file an “employee business ex penses” form with their tax returns and claim the dif ference as a deduction. This can be done even it you don’t itemize deductions. 15 20.5
