ASCS explains release levels

The grain reserve program, administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, offers farmers threeyear loans and storage payments for holding their crops off the market until prices reach an established level or the contract expires. Corn is eligible for release from the reserve when the national average market price received by farmers reaches 125 per cent of the current loan rate which is $2. Wheat becomes eligible for release when the price reaches 140 per cent of the loan rate of $2.35. Robert Strombeck. chairperson of the Kosciusko County ASC committee, said that release of grain from the reserve is baked on national average prices received by farmers because ot price differential in various grain producing areas. “To allow certain areas or particular classes to enter the market while others kre still locked into the reserve might dampen upward movement, he explained. ASCS uses information provided by the Economics Statistics and Cooperatives Service and the Agricultural Marketing Service to determine market prices for announcing reserve release. These national average prices for March 1 were $2.18 for corn and $3-95 for wheat If a release is announced at the end of a month, it will not be terminated within 30 days of the Revolver stolen from hardware Arthur Carboneau, 110 West Main, Syracuse report ed to Syracuse police on Monday of the theft of a Sturm Ruger .357 magnum revolver from the Syracuse Hardware sometime during the day.
