Dole backs loan relief for flood grain in Kansas
Senate Leader Bob Dole urged Agriculture Secretary Lyng to allow loans on sample grade grain from flood stricken Kansas. Dole cited sprout damage above 15 percent in milo corn and soybeans and called for review of penalties by inspectors to avoid worsening farmers’ cash flow amid low prices.

Sprouted grain prompts Kansas farmers to feed rather than sell
In Kansas a warm wet fall caused corn soybeans and grain sorghum to sprout on the stalk. Prices for sprouted grain are below normal with some discounts up to 55 percent. Extension experts urge marketing through livestock or backgrounding, not sale as cash grain, and advise storing sprouted grain at 12 percent moisture or less and cooling to 40 to 45 degrees.

Farm Trade Deficits Likely To Even Out
Washington analysts state farm trade deficits this summer signal a temporary wobble. A Dept of Agriculture forecast in Agricultural Outlook says U.S. agricultural trade will remain in surplus as exports grow, aided by the current farm program and a weaker dollar. It notes a $6 billion surplus in 1986 with exports at $26.5 billion and imports at $20.5 billion, while stressing weather and noncompetitive imports influence import values. The report cites sharp rises in imports of grain, live animals, vegetables, and fruit in the early 1980s, but argues these reflect nonlong-term shifts rather than a shift in U.S. competitive stance.
