Boar meeting 9 auction on Aug . 23
WEST WILLOW, Pa. - Hog
producers interested in improving
the productivity of their operations
and bidding for a high-grade Kleen
Leen boar are invited to a brief
meeting and boar auction on
Monday, Aug. 23rd at the Lam
peter Fairgrounds, sponsored by
West Willow Farmers Association
and the Ralston Purina Company.
According to Curt Walter, swine
specialist for West Willow, the
meeting will feature presentations
on selecting proper breeding stock.
“We want to show area producers
that breeding programs do make a
difference in their overall profits
often $25-$5O difference per
litter,” Walter reveals. “Up until
now, too many producers relied
upon guesswork or instinct when
for grain reserve

and 1982 crops of oats now are
eligible for immediate entry into
the farmer-owned grain reserve
because oat prices have fallen
below a previously established
level.
Reserve regulations provide that
a commodity may be placed in the
reserve when the market price is
below its reserve trigger release
level. That level for oats is $1.65
per bushel.
Farmers with 1981 crop oats
under Commodity Credit Cor

grain in the reserve are eligible for

rate and an advance 20-cents-per

because there was no better way to
doit.”
“But the Genetic Potential
Rating (GPR) system formulated
by Kleen Leen has eliminated the
guesswork, and now allows
producers to know what kind of
boar they’re buying before making
a costly investment,” the swine
specialist continues. “We strongly
believe in the system, and the
Monday evening meeting offers
area producers an opportunity to
judge the system for themselves.”
Tom Painter, Division Swine
Specialist for Kleen Leen will be on
hand to explain the GRP system.
Gene Hubbard, District Manager
for Purina, will also reveal how the
right breeding program can give

Producers of 1982 crop oats who
place their grain in the reserve are
eligible for a 18-cents-per-bushel
higher loan as well as the 20-cents
storage payment. Rank said.
The CCC national average loan
rate for 1981-crop oats is $1.24 per
bushel. When this commodity is
placed in the reserve, the loan rate
is $1.31 per bushel. The 1982 loan
rate is $1.31 per bushel and the
reserve loan rate is $1.49 per
bushel.
The interest rate on CCC loans is
the rate applicable to all loans
issued by the CCC during the
month of disbursement.
