Underground tanks eyed

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The state has a message for owners of underground storage tanks: either register the tanks with the state or a potential SIO,OOO fine. In advertisements in newspapers in 21 Indiana communities, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management laid down the law for storage tank owners, many of whom have been lax in registering their tanks.

tendance-wise. Board members noted that Saturday’s programs have been lacking in crowd interest because there are no exhibits to see, and commercial exhibitors are leaving. APPEARING BEFORE the board were community persons seeking a place for their walking sessions during the winter months. Board members approved use of the Community Building and will meet with walkers relative to schedules and details. David Greenburg’s financial report indicated that the 1986 fair income was not equal to that of the past year. However, finances are still in the plus column.

Anne D. Black, an environmental scientist with IDEM, said farm and residential tanks that hold less than 1,100 gallons and tanks that store heating fuel for use on the premises are exempt from the registration law. By May 8, 1986, all the underground storage tanks covered by the law were to be registered with the state.

Corn Market Program plans unveiled by ICG A

INDIANAPOLIS - Plans for the proposed Indiana Com Market Development Program have been unveiled by the Indiana Corn Growers Association (ICGA). Speaking for the association was President Jean Leising, Oldenburg. A CORN PRODUCER referendum is the result of legislation passed by the 1987 General Assembly and formally signed into law June 2. From Dec. 3-15, corn farmers will vote via a mail ballot to establish the Indiana Corn Market Development Program. This program would provide for an investment of one-half cent per bushel of corn sold to be automatically collected at the first point of sale. “At one-half cent per bushel, or two kernels per ear of corn, ... this represents an investment of less than one-half of one percent of gross sales by corn producers,” Leising said. By law, monies collected would be

used for market development, new use research and education. A full refund would be available, upon request, up to 365 days from the date of sale for producers not wishing to participate in the program. ONCE IN PLACE, the program would call for creation of a 15member council of Indiana corn producers. The Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC) would have one representative from each of 15 corn districts who would be elected by other corn producers within the district. The term of office would be three years, with no council member able to hold office for more than two consecutive terms. ICMC members would not be paid for their services, but could be reimbursed for ICMC-related expenses. Grain elevators and other first point of sale locations would be required to file quarterly reports. They would also be permitted to keep three percent of funds collected

to offset administrative costs. A corn market development program in Indiana could generate between $1.5 to $2 million in funds. Based on results from states that currently have such programs in place, Indiana corn farmers could expect at least 90 percent of this amount to be used for market development projects. LEISING SAID THAT “people recognize that you can only produce as long as there is a market, and that government stocks are not a good market. By combining new technology with abundant, renewable resources, we can develop products that will benefit agriculture, consumers, taxpayers and the environment.” Ten other states currently have corn market development programs, including Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, and Louisiana.

American pork, lamb use lagging WASHINGTON (AP) Americans are right up front when beef and poultry are served, but they take a seat further back when pork and lamb are on the menu, according to new global consumption figures by the Agriculture Department. Forecasts estimate U.S. per capita consumption of beef and veal next year at 88.4 pounds, down from 104.3 pounds in 1987. But that’s still enough to be a world-class beef eater. Average per capita consumption of beef and veal, based on figures for more than 50 countries, is expected to remain about the same in 1988 at 25.5 pounds per person. As used by the department, that is a “carcass weight” equivalent before the meat is cut up for retail sale. World per capita consumption of poultry was forecast at 24.2 pounds in 1988, on a ready-to-cook equivalent, up from 23.5 this year. The U.S. per capita rate for next year was forecast at 81.8 pounds.

Harvest progress rapid WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Hoosier farmers were able to make rapid progress in their harvest activities as last week’s weather provided ideal conditions for fieldwork, according to the Indiana weekly crop report. Thirty-five percent of the corn was harvested as of Sunday, which was 17 days ahead of the 12 percent harvested a year ago and two weeks ahead of the previous record for early harvest set in 1980. The 5-year average is 7 percent harvested. The report, which was issued Monday, said corn harvest was 24 percent complete in the north, 35 percent complete in central counties and 55 percent complete in the south. Moisture content of the corn harvested last week averaged 20 percent, which was down 2 percentage points from last week and well below the 23 percent reported a year earlier, said state statistician Ralph W. Gann of the Midwest Agricultural Weather Service Center at Purdue University. Forty-eight percent of the soybeans had combined, which was three days behind the record for early harvest set in 1964. Last year, 11 percent of the soybeans had been combined. The 5-year average is 13 percent. Soybean harvest was 27 percent complete in the north, 59 percent complete in central Indiana and 65 percent complete in the south. Moisture content of the soybeans harvested averaged 13 percent, which was the same as last week but 1 percent below last year’s average. Eighty-eight percent of the soybeans were mature, which was one week ahead of the previous record 73 percent set in 1982. Last year, 58 percent of the soybean crop was mature. The average is 50 percent. Seeding of the 1988 winter wheat crop was 12 percent complete. One year ago 7 percent of the wheat was seeded. The average is 11 percent. Four percent of the wheat had emerged, the same as last year but ahead of the 2 percent average. Plowing of land for the 1988 wheat crop was 48 percent complete, which was the same as the average but ahead of the 44 percent plowed in 1986. Rye seeding was 43 percent along.
