The qualifying competition, according to Toni Olsen, golf pro at Canyon Hills. Hay price spread gone full swing into the first crop hay harvest in the last week. In fact, available to any of us. A look, however, at recent price movements may be of some help in evaluating what the price ranges may be, both as sellers and buyers. I have information on price it seemed to me that Q most farmers got going at it within a day or Blaine Jones two of each other. The harvest is really moving along. Im sure that there are some producers and buyers who are wondering about hay prices. Dr. Morris Taylor, extension marketing specialist at USU, sent county agents some information on this subject a week or so ago. For what it might be worth, his information is as follows: Old Crop quality alfalfa is selling at a wide range in price with bulk at $75-$8- 0 a ton delivered to northern Utah dairies and feed lots. New crop alfalfa hay producer quotes and offers to buy represent a wide range in prices currently from $55 to $75 a ton in the field or stack. Idaho producers are selling first crop in the bale in the field at $58 to California buyers down $4 from earlier sales talk. Some California buyers are offering Utah producers $55 a ton in the stack with a $2 per ton down payment and the balance to be paid when hay is picked up possibly in the winter time. Obviously, shrinkage plus the cost of money on such offers effectively reduces the real price paid by $5 to $10 per ton. Although crop prospects have greatly improved, hay supplies will undoubtedly be tight for the feeding year ahead. Caution, not hysteria, should govern decisions on selling or buying. Then too, the state depart- ment of agriculture again warns producers to make sure buyers checks are good before the hay leaves the farm. Gyppo buyers on this kind of market and theres little chance of recovering money for hay once it has left the farm. Speaking of prices for agricultural products, this is always of concern to farmers, but there is no crystal ball movements for several agricultural commodities for the past seven years. The information is too lengthy to reproduce here but if you want to take a look at it you are welcome to come to the extension office and review it. If there is some of it you would like for your own reference, we can copy it for you. Come in and see us. A couple of weeks ago I made reference to the field bindweed (wild morning glory) on the Levan Ridge. I appealed to the farmers not to plow around it and leave it. If it is plowed around it should be sprayed by the time it starts to bloom. For control of this weed, I have long advocated a combination of tillage, chem- ical treatment (preferably twice a year) and crop competition. We will never control the weed if we give it ground or think in terms of just a chemical application once in a while. The following article taken from Agrichemical Age supports my point. Also know as creeping Jenny, a seedling of field bindweed has a five-incdeep root. At this stage, 2,4-or one tillage will control it. The weed has a root 12 inches deep. After ten root has weeks, the buds on the lateral roots and at this stage it takes more than one cultivation or spray to control it. h 34-inc- h After one season, seedlings t have roots deep and laterals reaching five feet in each direction. At the end of two seasons, the seedling has in grown into a patch diameter and roots extend 18 four-fee- 17-fe- feet deep. It pays to spray with 2,4-each year to kill new seedlings, says Leon Wrage, extension weed control specialist at South Dakota State University. Take extra efforts to respray or use repeated cultivation on small patches. For a large infestation, plan a three-yea- r program of crops, cultiva- tion and chemicals. IT UP state.
