Milk house water also drams mto the pit and helps operation of the gravity flow system One 60-pound bag of shavings is used a day for the bedding The gutter cleaner is operated every other day The Millers are presently milking 70 head and have about 55 young stock. Herd average is about Adds 15,25% interest charge USDA issues corn reserve extension WASHINGTON, D.C. - Far mers who must settle their reserve com loans will have at least an additional 30 days to repay their loans, according to Edward Hews, acting administrator of the U.S Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Stablization and Conservation Service. The extension was made to assure orderly marketing of com, which was jeopardized by tran sportation problems caused by low water levels on the nation’s major gram-shipping rivers, Hews said. The settlement date for corn in reserve I was February 9- the settlement date for reserves II and 111 is April 15 During the 30-day period far mers will pay 15.25 percent in terest on their loans. Hews said Previously, there was no interest charged on these loans Hews said the interest rates were changed to reflect the cost of borrowing from the U S Treasury and to provide producers an in centive to settle matured or called farm-stored loans promptly. The new rates take effect the day after the loan’s maturity or, in the case of reserve loans, the day after the original date on which set tlement is required after a reserve loan is called. After the final date for set tlement, issuance of dehvery notices and warehouse takeover for com under reserve or regular loans will be delayed at least 30 days based on current available storage space and transportation conditions to allow for orderly marketing. Hews said. 18,600 lbs. of milk and 630 tat To date, they’ve had no problems with the gravity flow system It has worked just as it had been designed Now, instead of hauling manure on a bitterly cold midwinter day, the Millers will be spreading just once - in April They plan to chisel it in upon application to get the most benefit from the manure It addition to the convenience of hauling, Miller calculates he’s making considerable savings on fuel and equipment maintenance “As of January 28, the three reserves held 994 2 million bushlels of com and all three reserves have been called,” said Hews. “The settlement date for the 10 to 15 million bushels m reserve I was February 9. The new interest rates for these loans began on Feburary 10. “April 15 is the fmal settlement date for reserves II and 111. Under the new rule, producers must pay mterest from this date until the called loans are settled, ’ ’ he said Hews said mterest on regular, nine-month government price support loans would be mcreased from 11.5 percent to 15 25 percent beginning the day after the loan’s maturity date Producers with these loans also will have at least 30 additional days following the maturity date to redeem their loans or deliver the gram to USDA, Hews said. interior of new section of barn on Andrew cleaning system to move manure to end of Miller Jr. farm, R 2 Manheim, shows stalls structure, utilizing mats and wood shavings and gutter \ IN STOCK NOW \ I A FULL LINE OF GARDEN SEED AND SUPPLIES • S-K TOOLS • GARDEN HOSE • KNAPSAC SPRAYERS (ALL SIZES) •DUSTBAG KITS • SHOVELS-SHOES -RAKES • CATTLE & HOG MINERALS • CUSTOM CANVAS WORK AARON S.
