Pony Express campaign at Leesburg UM Church
More than 12 members of the Leesburg United Methodist Church wi|l become saddlebagcarrying r ‘trail bosses” and “route riders” within the next few weeks in their church’s Pony Express stewardship campaign. Rev. Ross Richey, pastor, said the this year is based on the same concept as the Pony Express of more than a century ago — team work. Jim Randall, general manager of the campaign, said five leaders of the church have been designated trail bosses, to supervise the relaying of the saddlebags to each of the church’s families on the Pony Express “run” routes. Each saddlebag bears the names of 10 church families on the run route, Randall stated. A family fills in an “estimate of
Berglund announces programs
Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland tpday announced all 1978 grain crops currently under loan to the Commodity Credit Corporation and all 1979 grain crops eligible for CCC loans may be placed in the farmer-owned reserve program. The only grain not affected is barley, which currently has a market price above the department’s “call" level, thus making it ineligible for the reserve. Bergland also announced there will be no set-aside or diversion for 1980 feed grain crops. “I would remind producers about the importance of good farming practices as they plan for 1980 and 11 would recommend against bringing fragile lands into production. Farmers who plant these lands in 1980 will not have this acreage added to their farms’ normal crops acreage in subsequent years,” Bergland said. Bergland said the program decisions were based on projected supply and demand factors for 1979 and 1980. “We see a tighter supply situation in the future. The actions we are announcing today will help meet domestic and export requirements and reduce the risk of rapid food price inflation." Under actions announced today, all producers of barley, corn and sorghum will be eligible for target price protection, loans and in the far-mer-owned reserve in 1980. Oat producers will be eligible for loans and the reserve program in 1980.

giving” card, seals it in an envelope and inserts it in the saddlebag, which then is handcarried to another family on the route. “We decided to use this unique approach because we believe stewardship campaigns should be exciting and pleasurable, in addition to having their serious moments,” according to Randall. “And, many dedicated members of the church are hesitant to solicit pledges from their friends and neighbors. With this Pony Express program, there are no solicitations and no pledges. Rev. Richey explained that each member is asked simply to estimate the amount he or she will be able to give to the church during the coming year. “Each family makes their decision in the privacy of their home,
“We will assure producers at least the same 1980 feed grain and soybean loan rates as in 1979,” Bergland said.” This means loan levels of at least $2.00 for corn, $1.90 for sorghum, $1.63 for barley and $1.03 for oats, $1.70 for rye and $4.50 for soybeans.” '“I will be asking for public comment on possible changes in the operation of the farmerowned reserve program in the next few weeks,” Bergland said. “Therefore, no changes in the reserve management rules are being made at this time. ” Preliminary feed grain target price ranges will be announced by March 15. Current estimates based on the formula in the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 indicates these prices would be $2.08 per bushel for corn, $2.46 for sorghum and $2.35 for barley. In order to qualify for full target price protection, farmers cannot plant more corn, sorghum or barley in 1980 than was considered planted and set aside for these crops this year. Farmers who exceed this acreage will be subject to an allocation factor that can reduce any target price payment by up to 20 per cent. National program acreages of 82.1 million acres for corn, 13.9 million for sorghum and 7.9 million for barley were also announced today. The NPA is the number of acres for each crop needed to be planted to meet projected domestic and export requirements as well as provided for an adequate carryover.
without any over-the-shoulder ‘supervision’ of someone from the church,” remarked Randall. He said the Poney Express theme was chosen because of the example set by the highly dedicated riders of the original Pony Express. “In addition to their personal commitment, the secret of their success lay in their ability to work as a team — each rider dependent on the other to make the relay system work and speed the mail on to its final destination,” he said. Likewise Randall said the success of the church depends on the dedication, commitment and teamwork of each member. “We trust each family to act responsibly in making a decision about the support they will give their church during the coming year,” added Randall.
Crops eligible to move immediately into the farmer-owned reserve are 1978 and 1979-crop wheat, corn, sorghum, oats and rice under CCC loan. Barley will be eligible for entry when it is no longer in a call status. | > Serving our country DANIEL ADAMS Navy Electronics Technician Third Class Daniel D.
