Farmers to receive survey
Farmers in the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed will soon receive a survey form which they will be asked to complete and return to the Kosciusko County SCS Office say Sam St. Clair, SCS, and Vic Virgil, extension agent. The survey, developed by the local coordinating committee who is working in the three county area (Kosciusko, Noble, and Whitley) encompassed by the watershed, will provide direction for educational and technical assistance programs that will be provided to farmers in the watershed. The survey results will also provide a base line for measuring the success of the five-year project. The Upper Tippecanoe Watershed is one of 37 water quality projects sponsored by the USDA agency offices (ASCS, SCS, CES) with assistance from area Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Indiana Departments of Natural Resources and Environmental Management. The project is part of President Bush’s Water Quality Initiative designed to improve the quality and quantity of the nation's waters. The purpose of the project is to encourage farmers and landowners to voluntarily adopt practices that will reduce potential contamination of waters in the area. The project will emphasize prevention through education, technical assistance, and financial cost-sharing. Examples of practices that could be adopted by farmers include development of crop nutrient and pesticide management plants, animal waste management plans, conservation tillage plans, and farmstead plans. The survey sent to farmers will assist those staff involved in the project in several ways. These include: identifying what practices and plans farmers in the area are
currently using and where they need information and technical assistance; providing a basis for assessing farmer’s perceptions of the linkage between their farming practices and water quality ; increasing the awareness of the project within the watershed; and providing a base line of information to measure the voluntary changes in practices and adoption of new practices by farmers

Update presented on 1991 Ag Outlook
By VIC VIRGIL Kosciusko County Extension Office Bill Uhrig, Purdue Ag Economist, presented an update on the 1991 Ag Outlook at the Penney Purdue Ag Research Report Day Friday, Dec. 14. Probably his most emphasis was placed on the idea that most producers will be ahead to continue in the Farm Program. You have to believe that corn prices will be over $2.50 average before you can beat the program. We’ve lost alot of exports with the delay in sending grain to Russia, and other countries have supplied their need. We are going to give them a bunch though. You’ve got to be a good soybean producer to make the flexibility provisions of the Farm Bill work for you. We’ll have a computer program shortly which can examine all the alternative percentages of different crops and help you to figure out which is your own personal best choice for your farm. Weather will still be the determining factor and Dr. Uhrig didn’t want to venture out too far until we see what South America

Mary and Joseph must have lavished their love on this precious baby — their firstborn. Joseph already had children but this was the first baby for Mary.
