About 50 area farmers toured Fort Hays Experiment Station plots as scientists urged efficiency in wheat production amid talk of cutting output to boost prices. They advised maintaining some fertilizer use and focusing on higher yields on fewer acres while exploring crops like triticale with mixed results.
Kansas Wheat Commission chief Myron Krenzin says feeding high protein wheat to cattle could use up big surpluses. A Fort Hays State University survey on feedlot numbers is awaited as wheat prices drop below corn and producers seek cheap gains. European buyers also eye wheat as a feed substitute, expanding market potential.
A Kansas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service update shows about 5 percent of the wheat crop cut in south central and southeast counties as harvest begins. Roughly 75 percent of wheat is at turning stage, with hot dry winds accelerating progress beyond last year’s 50 percent and the 60 percent average.
National Dairy Month notes improved methods and labor cuts. Kansas reports May milk output of 134 million pounds, with 140000 milk cows and 960 pounds per cow. Research from Beltsville covers corn energy and Holstein sire comparisons, showing US bulls lead in milk production versus Canada and Mexico.
A United States Agriculture Department report credits February 1976 grading reforms with shifting prices toward leaner beef. The changes include adding yield grades to qualify for federal grading and lowering marbling requirements for Choice and Prime grades, boosting Prime and Choice shares while reducing Good. Kenneth Nelson of the University of Illinois led the study.
Washington reports drought in North Africa and the Middle East trims 1977 world grain output slightly but a solid harvest will lift carryover grain reserves to a record 202.1 million tons by mid-1978. The 30 million ton surplus added to stockpiles supports a second year of rising reserves from 113 million a year ago. Prices not linked to forecasts. US retail food costs may rise about 6 percent this year with imports like coffee and fish driving part of the increase.
