At USTR, Early said the lan

commitments to include all ele
ments of the CAP in the negotia
tions. She said the goal of elimi
nating trade-distorting subsidies
also is included'in language read
ing “correcting and preventing
restrictions and distortions in
world agricultural markets.” This
goal cannot be met, she explained,
without the elimination of domes
tic and international policies that
create distortions.

director of planning and trade pol

that Administration officials

occurrence of herbicide injury.
The heavy rains will have moved
the herbicide into contact with
germinating corn seedlings. In
addition, since the young plants
are under stress due to the cool
weather, they may be unable to
completely detoxify the herbicide.
These two conditions may result
in visible signs of herbicide injury.
In most instances, plants showing
signs of early season herbicide
injury recover with little impact
on the yield potential. Stand
counts should be taken and fields
monitored closely to determine if
plants have the ability to recover.
If significant stand looses are
incurred, a decision regarding
replanting will be necessary.

remain committed to substantial
agricultural trade reform. He also
pointed out that progress will be
measured by the results of the
tough negotiations that are ahead,
and that the officials promised to
work closely with the TPCC
members during those negotia
tions.
The meetings also included dis
cussions of such bilateral trade
issues as the EC’s export subsidies
and variable levies on feed grains
and Japan’s restrictive feed grains
policies. The group also asked for
support of a waiver of the
Jackson-Vanik amendment to
allow Most-Favored-Nation trad
ing status to be extended to the
Soviet Union.

Some growers may wonder if
there is anything that should be
done at this time to avoid potential
weed problems. We do not have
the ability to predict how much of
the herbicide has been degraded or
moved out of the active zone.
Thus, it would be foolish to try
and boost the activity of a pre
emergence herbicide applied prior
to the rain by making a second
application when the fields dry
out. The best option is to actively
scout the fields early in the season
for weed escapes. If problems
develop, the use of cultivation or a
post-emergence herbicide may be
warranted to avoid significant
yield losses due to weed
competition.
