WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Secretary of Agriculture John R.
Block recently outlined the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
reduced acreage and conservation
plans for the 1982 wheat crop.
Block said these decisions are
contingent on the U.S. Congress
passing a new farm bill which
authorizes the actions.
Block said farmers who wish to
become eligible for price support
loans, target price protection and
the farmer-owned reserve
program must comply with all
reduced-acreage requirements.
There will be no payments for
reduced plantings, Block said.
Block said participatirg farmers
must reduce their acreage of
wheat planted for harvest by at
least 15 percent from their
established wheat acreage base.
The base will be the 1981 planted
wheat acreage adjusted in cases
where there is a regular crop
rotation for wheat, he said.
Secondly, farmers must devote
to conservation uses an area equal
to 17.65 percent of their 1982 wheat
acreage planted for harvest
(planted 1982 wheat acreage times
17.65 percent equals acreage
devoted to conservation uses).
For example, Block said, a
“We used to worm ou
whole herd at one time,
but we didn’t notice
a change in milk pro
duction because a lot of
the cows were midway
through their lactations. Or tailenders
which got wormed long before they
came fresh.
“But worming with TB2® right before they
freshen, you’re helping to get every cow
ready to give more milk as they peak out.
They peak sooner and they seem to hold on
better.”
“You clean pipelines ...why not cows?”
“Worming for us is routine. We clean out
everything...the pipeline...the barn. So why
not do the same for the cows? When you
clean out the worms, whatever the cows
