Cattle and hog manure goes into a methane digester which produces the biogas, which is then used to fuel electric generators and internal combustion engines on the farm. This and similar projects have made the energy farm self-sufficient.

Frank 0. Nishiguchi, president of the 16,000-member Utah Farm Bureau Federation, said Farm Bureau has worked to reduce the cost of the farm bill now being negotiated betweenthe U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in conference committee. “Ever since the mid-1930's, Farm Bureau — with about 80 percent of the nation's farmers and ranchers as members — has had policy opposing high price supports and expensive payment programs,” he explained. ‘In recent weeks, our organization has sent repeated messages to Congressmen asking for a farm bill thatrelies on the market system of supply and demandto help solve farmers’ and ranchers’ problems as well as food buyers’ “We're just as opposed to ‘budget-busting’ farm legislation as President Reagan is. It was a large group of farmers, the dairymen, who courageously bore the first impact of the President’s economic recovery plan — the cancellation of a dairy price Support increase last April, and we're backing his plan all the way.’ That small group of people who are begging for high government support payments and heavy regulation don’t understandfully the great compensating effect of the free enterprise system, Nishiguchi added. ‘‘Farm Bureau supports the free enterprise system wholeheartedly,” the Garland farmersaid “Just a few years ago, we reduced the huge surplus of government-owned grain that was hanging over the market.

Russ Buys Boost Export Total WASHINGTON (UPI) — Farm exports are expected to increase 4 percent this fiscal year to a record $45.5 billion, with expansion due to probable record shipments to the Soviet Union, the Agriculture Depa predicted Monday. Exports could setthe 13th record yearin a row. Last week, the departmentsaid farm exports in fiscal year 1981, which just ended, totaled $43.8 billion. That was the 12th record in a row but it was nearly $5 billion less than what the department had predicted a year ago. The increase for fiscal year 1982 is expected ‘o be modest with lower prices for grains and oilseeds limiting the projected gain, the departmentsaid in an exports outlook and situation summary report. The price of corn may decline about a tenth and wheat prices may be down about 2 percent.

With agricultural imports projected at $17 billion, the agricultural trade sup mayexceed $28 billion, up from $26.7 billion in fiscal yeat 1981, the departmentsaid. Grain exports are expected to rise about 12 million tons, Total agricultural export volume wasprojected to rise 10 percent to about 180 million tons. Muchof the grain increase will be due to crop shortfalls in places like the Soviet Union and Spain. The United States has offered to sell 23 million tons of grain to the Soviet Union and has sold 500,000 tons of soybeans. India is expected to import about4 million tons from the United States. Rice exports are expected to drop as a consequence of reduced import needs .of South Korea a Indonesia.
