After three days of steady negotiations, the producers and processors were able to settle on a net of a little over 10 percent increase over last year’s sweet corn agreement. The spread between the domestic and export price has been narrowed from $10 per ton to $8.25 per ton to reflect improved export market conditions. The 1979 prices for corn are $16.25-$53.00 compared to last year’s $55.75-$45.75. Spraying has been set at $13.75 per acre compared to $12 last year and the seed price has gone up 25 cents to $1.45 per pound. Harvesting and trucking rates are up 50 cents for the first 10 miles at $8.75 and there is another 25 cents per five miles over the first 10 miles. Green peas were also settled last week with the price schedule increased 10.25 percent over last year. Seed charge have been in­ creased from 27.5 cents per pound to 31.5 cents and harvesting charges have been increased from $51.50 per ton to $55. Dougall indicated this should net the average producer approximately 10 percent over last year. CONVEYS AND FEEDS To preregister, write Dr. W.S. Young, Coordinator of Agricultural Extension.
