Farm Credit Corp Funds Drop To 154 Million
The Commodity Credit Corporation now has about 154 million dollars in available funds, with the rest tied up in surplus crop programs and price support loans. A proposed appropriation would replenish the agency, but passage in the Senate this month is unlikely. Officials expect current money to cover operations until July 1, after which continued spending hinges on enacted appropriations.

Cattlemen Ignore Suggestions On Slaughter Weight Decline
Cattlemen show little heed to leaders urging lighter slaughter weights to curb beef tonnage. An Agriculture Department market report indicates weights rising, with seven market averages at 1180 pounds, up 10 pounds from last year, and Chicago average at 1202 pounds. Chicago choice steers June 7 averaged 23.66 per hundred, down from 25.20 a year earlier. Eggs grading rules rise for minimum top grade albumen value and remove yolk centering as a quality factor.
