million bushel minimum for wheat
and 1 billion bushels for feed
grains. The minimum and
maximum reserve levels provided
by the Food Security Act of 1985
will not become effective until 1986

reserve.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is in
creasing the hourly fee it charges
for meat grading and certification
services, and establishing
separate fee rates for different
types of service, a USDA official
announced.
Paul Fuller, an official with the
Agricultural Marketing Service,
said the changes are needed, to
offset substantial program
operating losses in fiscal year 1985.
Meat grading and certification
are voluntary services provided to
meatpackers and processors for a
fee that is required by law to be
approximately equal to the cost of
providing the service. Fuller said
the new fees are being im
plemented on an interim basis
because of the need to cover
program operating costs.
Fuller said establishment of
separate fee rates for different
types of service will distribute
more equitably the program’s

DRIP IRRIGATION
V" 1 The Most Economical way to irrigate
/win Wall IV is a proven le. ,r in drip irrigation waters uniformly in hilly
terrain. Irrigate longer rows, 50% less chance of clogging than other
types of drip.
• Multiple Openings
Each outlet consists of 3 or more closely spaced
openings as a back-up in case any should become
clogged by foreign material
• More Uniform Watering
Rows with humps or mounds in the soil are
watered more uniformly
• Drops Fall Directly To Soil
Outlets are on top, but off center, so that the
drops do not run lengthwise on top of the hose
leaving dry areas
• True Drip Flow
The "squirt" is eliminated and the water flows
from the outlets in the form of a true drip.

USDA ups grading fee
operating expenses to meat
packers and processors.
Currently, there are two types of
applicants - commitment and
noncommitment. Commitment
applicants agree to guarantee 40
hours of revenue for service per
week. Noncommitment applicants
request service for a particular
day and for the amount of time
necessary to complete a specific
task. The cost of providing service
to noncommitment applicants is
substantially higher than the cost
of providing service to com
mitment applicants.
Under the new fee schedule, the
base rate for commitment ap
plicants will be $27.40 per hour, and
the base rate for noncommitment
