Farm Roundup: Gasohol Bill Advances In Congress
Rep. Berkley Bedell proposes the National Fuel Alcohol and Farm Commodities Act to replace the feed grain set aside with a $600 million loan fund for gasohol plants. The plan would raise corn to $2.50 a bushel, require 10 percent of a farmer's crop for government use, and supply grain to private gasohol producers at half price for year one. The proposal targets replacing about 2 billion gallons of gasoline with ethanol. Dennis Lundgaard of Cherokee elected chair of the Federal Farm Credit Board with Ralph Austin of Westcliffe as vice chair. Minnesota farmland values rise 12 percent to $889 per acre. A $1.4 billion USDA loan guarantee will back Basin Electric Power Cooperative for the Antelope Valley Station serving eight states.
