US Agriculture Department predicts 1997 farm exports decline
The USDA projects U S agricultural exports to fall to 58 billion in fiscal 1997 from 60 billion due to tight supplies of corn wheat and cotton and increased competition for cotton from Argentina and Australia. Some sectors will rise with livestock fruits and vegetables hitting new records while soybeans offset losses.

In the Rogue Valley pear harvest, growers avoid a winter chill that could have trimmed state yields. Statewide production is down about 25 percent from last year due to a cold wet winter and cool bloom, but the southwestern Rogue Valley should post above average harvests and prices rise to about 300 dollars per ton from 175.

Auction Fails to Sell Ike Creamery As Antique Mall Plan Emerges
In Abilene Kansas the Belle Springs Creamery complex failed to meet owner Gordon Engle’s minimum, with a top bid of 7000 dollars. The site, on the National Register since 1983, once boosted Eisenhower family ties and local employment through butter ice cream eggs and poultry. Engle plans a 64000 square foot antique mall if the building survives.
