Pre-Milking
and reduce operator’s workload,
Westfalia’s new ACR provides a
faster, more efficient milking rou
tine, but still allows the dairyman
to give individual attention to his
cows in a stanchion bam setting.
The 10-pound portable unit
conveniently mounts between
cows. The operator simply atta
ches the milker and triggers the
ACR. Pre-milking stimulation can
be set for 20-, 40-, 60-, or 90- sec
ond intervals. In addition, pulsa
tion rates are adjustable at 50, 60,
65, or 70 cycles per minute,
depending on the herd’s milking
requirements.
With its adjustable timed milk
out and strip time, the unit’s auto
matic flow sensor takes over milk
monitoring responsibilities and
turns traditional stanchion bams

LTA Allows Soviets
To Buy Grain Easier
WASHINGTON, D.C. The
U.S.-Soviet Long-Term Grain
Agreement (LTA), agreed upon in
principle by U.S. and Soviet nego
tiators, will provide greater flexi
bility to the Soviet Union in pur
chasing U.S. grains for the next
five years. The new LTA will
replace the current agreement,
which expires December 31,
1990.
“The agreement represents a
good compromise between the
interests of the United States and
Soviet Union,” said Allen Ter
haar, USFGC director of trade
servicing, planning, and trade pol
icy. “It is a positive move toward
the goal of increasing grain vol
ume and purchasing flexibility for
the Soviets. The Soviets are one of
our best grain customers. They
deserve to get the commodities
they want on a reliable, long-term
basis.”
The new agreement provides
for a 1-million-metnc-ton (mmt)
increase in the minimum annual
Soviet purchase amount of U.S
Our on-staff Farm Management Consultant is always

wheat, feed grains, soybeans, and
soybean meal to 10 mmt. The
agreement calls for annual purch
ases of at least 4 mmt each of
wheat and feed grains; however, it
allows the Soviets to substitute up
to 750,000 ml of one commodity
for the other in a given year, as
long as 20 mmt of each commodi
ty is purchased by the end of the
agreement.
The language of the new agree
ment, which calls for purchases of
all feed grains (com, sorghum,
and barley), represents additional
flexibility in purchasing. It will
allow the Soviets to maximize the
volume of their purchases in light
of their tight foreign currency
earnings.
In addition, the feed grains lan
guage will allow the United States
jo compete with other Soviet sup
pliers of barley and sorghum, such
as the European Community and
Argentina, potentially increasing
the U.S. share of the Soviet
market.
