Dust Control Rules Pose Big Costs for Elevators
The National Grain and Feed Association warns federal dust control standards for grain elevators could cost up to 61.1 billion dollars in capital outlays and 234.5 million annually in operating costs. If applied to all elevators, initial investments might exceed 1.5 billion with up to 500 million yearly costs, translating to about 2.9 cents per bushel. EPA rules target facilities handling 10,000 bushels per hour or more, affecting about 600 elevators in five years with 26 million capital outlay and 5.5 million yearly operating costs, a total of 1.2 cents per bushel for corn.

Rotation to non corn crops is advised as a control measure.

Fewer Large Feedlots, Yet They Lead Beef Production
The AP reports that while the number of super large cattle feedlots has fallen, those with 92 000 or more capacity still account for a majority share of U S beef. In 1978 some 60 huge lots operated, down from 66 in 1975 and 73 in 1974, yet they marketed about 16 percent of cattle from feedlots. The USDA analysis shows total cattle sold by all feedlots in 23 states reached 94 264 000 in 1978, up from 90 505 000 in 1977, with the largest sale share coming from the 6 999 head plus category at about 51 percent of fed cattle.
