Farmers facing shortages of gasoline diesel liquid propane or fertilizer can seek assistance from the local Agricultural and Conservation Stabilization Service office. Dorothy Neel ASCS director says the office will coordinate with dealers to prevent fuel outages by having dealers complete a form detailing the problem sent to Washington, boosting the chances of fuel relief. Grain markets show high prices likely to stay through Christmas with declines after year’s start. Milk output in October was 9.015 billion lbs down 4.7 percent from a year ago, the 12th consecutive monthly decline, with declines led by Georgia Tennessee and Wisconsin and lower output per cow.
