The Rural Scene Agri-oriented News, Views Plan Bluffs Meet on River Master Plan Council Bluffs is the location for the fifth public meeting planned this month by the Corps of Engineers. Omaha District, concerning the Missouri River Recreation Master Plan and the Missouri River Wildlife Mitigation Study. Col. W. Ray, Omaha District Engineer, says the meeting will begin at 7 p.m., March 21.

in the Community Room of the Fire Station on Main Street. Concerning the recreation plan, the public is invited to discuss the water-related activities it would like to have and to suggest additional possible locations where such recreation areas could be developed on the river between Yankton, S.D., and Rulo, Neb. Ray says any future recreational development would be cost-shared by the federal government and local communities. The purpose of the wildlife mitigation portion of the meeting is for the public to assist the Corps in identifying ways which would help compensate for the loss of wildlife which resulted from construction of the Missouri River bank stabilization and navigation project. These alternatives could include such measures as redesignation of existing federal land, fee purchase of land, easements on critical habitat areas, and modification to project operations or structures.

Monies used for wildlife mitigation would come from the federal government if Congress approves. crops. Reduced rainfall has modestly reduced India's potential harvest. However, increased Indian carryover stocks are expected to at least partly offset the smaller crop. Southern Hemisphere crops are expected to be considerably larger than last year and will compete with U.S.

corn and soybean exports this spring and summer, according to the ISU economist. Wisner added that some of the least favorable world crop conditions in early March appeared to be in the U.S. winter wheat belt. The crop is in poor to fair condition in many areas although recent rains have improved prospects in Texas, Oklahoma and the Pacific Northwest. However, sharply higher U.S.

wheat carryover stocks so far appear to offset the unfavorable crop conditions.

In early March, according to Iowa State University economist Bob Wisner, the world crop outlook was mixed with some areas showing better prospects than last year while other areas were less favorable. Fall-planted grain crops in Europe and Russia appeared to be in generally good to excellent condition. Both areas had favorable moisture last fall along with generally good winter participation. A few Soviet areas reported light snow cover and unusually cold January temperatures with possible winterkill damage, according to the economist. However, recent USDA reports indicate these problem areas are considerably less extensive and less severe than last year, and slightly less than normal winter-kill damage has been indicated so far.

Almost one-fifth of Russia's fall planted grains normally are damaged by winter-kill. In Europe, most areas report subsoil moisture has recovered to near-normal levels despite last summer's severe drought. According to the economist, areas where the 1977 foreign crop outlook is clouded at (his time include Canada, the Soviet spring wheat bell, and parts of China and India. Portions of the Canadian prairie provinces were unusually dry in early March. In addition, precipitation in the central part of the Soviet spring wheat belt has been below normal since last November.

Wisner added that about two-thirds of Russia's total grain production usually comes from spring planted crops. In China, the winter was colder and drier than normal in some areas although it is too early to assess the potential impact on 1977 NF Mrs. Howard Palmer What is cost of production? The 1977 argument over a new Farm Bill may be chiefly devoted to debating the answer to that question. The debate is already on as a consequence of Senator Herman Talmadge's proposed farm bill which put the national average cost of producing a bushel of wheat at $2.91 and corn at $2.28. The Talmadge cost figures contrast sharply with what thousands of NFO farmers determined to be average cost of production plus a reasonable profit at the NFO Milwaukee convention in December.

They put the wheat cost plus a profit at $4.95 and corn at $3.20. A 10 pet. profit was calculated, which would put cost without profit at $4.50 for wheat and $2.90 for corn. The figures in the Talmadge bill were worked out by members of the Senate Agriculture Committee staff using figures supplied by the USDA. They based the land on the average cost of land and 5 year average yields.

The USDA found that it cost $2.17 to $2.41 per bu. to produce corn in 1976 and that it will he from $2.12 to $2.60 this year, depending on how you calculate land costs and yields. That compares to NFO's cost-plus-profit figure of $3.20. The NFO's cost-plus-profit figure on soybeans came out at $7.55 per or about $6.80 cost. The USDA reported that it cost $5.51 per bu.

to produce soybeans based on acquisition value of land last year, or $6.31 if calculated on current land values. In addition to the various sets of official figures, members of Congress are receiving letters from farmers concerning their actual operating expenses, which add to the maze of figures. ffEWSM.
