D32—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 17,1981 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block has appointed B.H. Jones, a native of Colorado, as ad ministrator designate of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Packers and Stockyards Ad ministration. That agency is responsible for administering the Packers and Stockyards Act, a fair trade practices law which promotes fair and open competition in buying and selling livestock, meat and poultry.

Jepsen and Secretary Block made the an nouncement at a joint news conference recently. “The prices currently being paid to farmers in lov/a and the other corn producing states are well below what it costs them to grow their products,” Jepsen said. “Farmers desperately need the cash the reserve would give them now so they can remain solvent through the winter.” In discussions with Secretary Block, Senator Jepsen ex pressed deep concern over low com prices and the expected bumper com crop, which could drive prices even lower before the end of the year. Cora is presently selling for about $2.30 per bushel at lowa elevators. "These are difficult tunes to be a farmer, with high interest rates and inflation hitting this sector of our economy doubly hard,” the lowa Republican said. “At today’s prices, farmers won't be able to pay their bills.” Secretary Block praised Jepsen for his work. “The USDA does not operate in a vacuum and as we worked together, we secured the opening of the feed grains reserve,” Block said. “I compliment Senator Jepsen for his efforts and his assistance." Under the program, farmers agree to keep their grain in reserve until the national five day moving average market price for their commodity is at or above the reserve trigger release level of |3.15 per bushel for corn or until the three-year reserve loan matures. When the release level is triggered, farmers may take their grain out of the reserve without penalty. If the market price continues above the trigger release level after the initial release period (the remainder of the month in which release is triggered plus one additional month), farmers will stop earning storage payments. Interest charges, if previously stopped, will resume.
