LANDSCAPE WORKSHOP The Utah Community Forest Council and Utah State University Extension are sponsoring workshops on Trees and Shrubs in the Landscape in four locations across the state in February 1996. These workshops provide basic and advanced, te information on tree and shrub care to professionals such as arborists, landscape designers, grounds keepers, nursery professionals, tree board members, and others who work with trees and shrubs. Landscape tree and shrub care will be the main focus of the workshops, though many of the topics apply to woody plants in any situation. AGENDA Each workshop will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude by 4 p.m. Onsite registration will be available after 8:30 a.m. Topics to be covered (may vary slightly by location) include: Soil Basics Controlling Nutrient Deficien- The session will deal with the cies basics of chain saw operation, Shrub Selection and Use Tree Health (insects and dismaintenance, and safety.

Bond, Utah State University Extension Agricultural Economist. Bond says this occurred despite a reduction in acreage. Harvested acreage is estimated at about 140,000 acres, down from 150,000 acres in 1994. The combined average yield for dry and irrigated winter wheat is estimated at a record 50 bushels per acre. Utah winter wheat production makes up only about 12 of one percent of total U.S. production, and has virtually no effect on prices. This has been a boon to Utah growers this year. Production was down in major wheat producing areas, resulting in the highest prices in 15 years. So, despite record production in Utah, growers are benefiting from a strong market.

The combination of these two factors has driven cattle prices to then-lowes- lbs.

( on cade. cattle producers have faced extremely difficult economic times According to DeeVon Bailey and Darwin Nielsen, Extension, Economists at Utah State University, the cattle feeding indus-- ' try, while more profitable than the cowcalf sector during 1995. also faces significant uncertainties in 1996. The number of cattle on feed as of November 1. 1995, was only slightly above where it was one year ago (up 1CA Placements may continue to moderate as feed costs remain high and the price of heavier feeder cattle is bid up. Indeed. October 1995 placements ueie 2cr below 1994s level. Turnover rates in feedlots are very good since cattle are being placed on feed at heavier weights than usual and, as a result, are spending less time in feedlots than during normal years. This has helped to keep beef supplies high even as placements have declined slightly. However, Bailey and Nielsen say beef production is expected to continue to expand at a rapid rate during at least the next five quarters. Part of this increase in beef production will result from an increase in cow and heifer slaughter during 1996 which is expected as a result of low feeder cattle prices. Expanding beef production will place significant pressure on fed cattle prices during the second half of 1996. U.S. beef exports continue to expand while beef imports declined in 1995. In fact, they say during October 1995 the U.S. was a net exporter of beef for the first time in many years. Exports have become an extremely important component of the overall beef picture. The economists say that while most cattle owners have suffered during the past two years of low prices, feedlot operators have been in a better position than cowcalf operators to weather this current economic storm.
