By Angie Stump The question among cattle producer! is, when ia it going to get better? With prices dropping and projected to continue to drop, some producers are wondering if they should jump ship. Randy Blach, Cattle-Fasaya the current cycle could be positive for producers ifthey are positioned correctly. He says producers should be excited because of the efficiency the industry has accomplished in the last 20 years. According to Blach, the estimated beef production in 1996 will be the same as 76, but with 30 million fewer cows. Beef ConferDining the ence in St. Joseph, Mo., Blach suggested several steps fin producers to use to remain competitive during the next few years. Manage your cull cows effec- x, GARBAGE Continued from page 1 it will be up to the advisory committee (formed during the meeting), in cooperation with the county commission and Solid Waste District board to determine reasonable fees for the property owners in occasional residence. The committee will also establish billing procedures and decide what type of collection service will best accommodate the west end. Fruitland area residents maintain that recreational traffic brings in much of the garbage deposited in dumpsters which they are paying to have emptied. Commissioners suggested that the advisory committee work on solutions to alleviate public accessibility to dumpster sites. Residents voiced resentment over their predicament, saying that commissioners failed to inform them of their final decision pertaining to the monthly amount they would be assessed for service after Mays meeting, and others questioned why the county was charging them over and above their property taxes for trash collection. Commissioner Dastrup explained that there wasnt enough money raised through property taxes to pay for the rising costs of operating the land fill, and that was why the solid waste district was formed last year. "It is the ultimate goal of the county commission to give the option of home pick up service, to westend residents, commissioner - Ross told the large audience. To make this possible, however, Ross explained that a county road service must be developed. While there is no time frame estimate now, the county is currently working with the county road service to determine costs, recommended locations and number of roads, Ross reported. Although a solution seems to be in the works, what of the countys actual debit of $14,532 paid for westend trash collection service since 1995 to present? Adams says all those who have not paid for service will be with penalties and interest on their future tax statement ed tively. He says there is a seasonal trend for marketing cull cows. The lot? end of the market historically occurs Nov. 15, plus or minus two weeks. , The high occurs from the first ofFebruary tothe first ofMarch. Retained ownership will be the key for the future. Keep an eye on cow slaughter, it will make a difference. The 96 corn crop will influence feeder cattle prices next fell. He predicted if there was a bumper crop, 10 billion bushels, feeder cattle prices would be 72 cents; ifit was an average crop, 9 billion bushels, price would be 64 cents; and ifit was a short crop, 8 billion bushels, the price would be 52 cents. s i Do you have a favorite family story?

LICENSE Continued from page 1 that could be handed out, declared councilwoman Beverly Hansen. Enforcement is the key to making this work. Last month the city approved increasing the hours for animal control officer Barbara Price from 20 hours to 30 hours a week, in an effort to give her time to pursue more proactive measures when it comes to animal control. Those hours may be expanded even more during the shaping of the citys upcoming 1996-9- 7 fiscal year budget, if finances allow. City council members are also discussing the possibility of sending out notices in the mail to remind dog owners to have their animals licensed and vaccinated. The decision to implement a tougher animal control ordinance waa the result of numerous citizen complaints over the past flew month s decryingthe number of roaming dogs within the city limits. In some instances the unrestrained dogs had attacked people. STARTS Fri.

Youd like to forward priee your crop, but you could lose your shirt if production drops below the quantity you guarantee to deliver. If farmers insure their crops up' to the amount they want to forward sell, they need not worry if production fella short, he says. Farmers must buy insurance coverage before deadlines, called sales closing dates. These deadlines may vary from county to county.
