A 3, Jonestown, PA KHMER INSURANCE AGENCY Box 337, Wyalusing, PA Low soybean prompt campaign ST. LOUIS, Mo. The American Soybean Association has launched a major campaign to boost soybean income through soybean oil sales. “We’re drowning in a sea of surplus soybean oil,” ASA President Charles Hamon said in a letter to ASA members. “A 1-cent a pound change in soybean oil prices changes soybean prices as much as 32 cents a bushel. During the past year alone, the drop in soybean oil prices has reduced soybean prices about 80 cents a bushel. “U.S. farmers are suffering from devasting effects of high production costs especially interest rates and low prices. While the association can’t directly affect the negative impact of in terest rates and other external factors, we can help reduce the high surplus of soybeans and soybean products.” Hamon, a Kansas farmer, said ASA has launched a three-pronged campaign: _ A research and education program to expand the use of soybean oil as a crop oil in the formulation of agricultural chemicals and as a replacement for water as a carrier for agricultural and forest chemicals. If this acreage was sprayed using soybean oil, Hamon said, these uses could consume as much as one billion pounds of soybean oil yearly. The surplus currently amounts to about 1.5 billion pounds.

The campaign also includes an ex tensive education and promotion program to expand European consumption of full fat soybean livestock feed which would reduce the oil surplus. The feeding program, which involves using crushed soybeans as a replacement for soybean meal, could increase soybean oil con sumption in Europe 10 times to two billion pounds. A national program to in crease the industrial use of soybean oil. ASA has contacted major U.S. companies en couraging them to replace petroleum oil with soybean oil in chemical formulations. In ad dition, the association is en couraging the use of soybean oil, or perhaps soybean lecithin, as a dust suppressant in grain han dling. This could use another 500 million to I billion pounds of soybean oils yearly. “Unlike my father’s generation, today's farmers are involved in an internationally-onented agricult ure,” Hamon said. “Increasing sales represents one way farmers can help themselves. There are no instant solutions to this farm depression. But, we believe our actions will position soybeans for a speedy recovery be building a foundation to boost soybean profits.” ALUS CHALMERS DEMO DRIVE Originally Scheduled For Thursday, October 14.1982 WILL BE HELD On The Rain Date MONDAY.
