Economist says grain deal
may not increase sales
By Jim (iarrctt
UNI Agricultural Lconomist Dean
Linscnmeyer said the recent grain contract
by the United States and China probably
will not have any major increase in overall
U.S. export grain sales.
Linscnmeyer said the Chinese already
have been purchasing between bVi to
seven million tons of wheat per year for
the past two to three years.
He said the new agreement will increase
sales to China to a minimum of nine
million tons per year, for the next four
years.
The big advantage l.insenmeyer said, is
that the contract will obligate China to
buy, and the United States to furnish, the
contracted amount. He said this contract
specifies that grain shall lie purchased at
current market prices when each order is
filled.
Linscnmeyer said U.S. fanners are re
sponding favorably to the China deal. He
said the bilateral agreement will tend to
stabilize the inlernation.il market for U.S.
farmers.
The only negative reactions that have
been perceived to any extent, Linscnmeyer
said, are from the Canadians. He said since
China has been purchasing grain from
Canada regularly, the Canadians had
counted on a regular buyer of wheat.
Linscnmeyer said Canada does not react
favorably to competition from U.S. fanners.
He said if the Russians, who are the
largest single producer-user of wheat world
wide, continue to have small harvests in the
future like this year's 13.9 percent drop off
from the projected goal -bilateral agree
ments like the one with China could be
come a big factor on the world market.
Linscnmeyer said as a result of the 17
million ton Russian grain embargo, Ameri
can farmers now arc able to sell that wheat
to China at a considerably higher price
than they would have sold it to Russia.
As a result of the international market
opening up after being slowed down from
the embargo, Linscnmeyer said, the China
deal has brought a good sign to U.S. farm
ers. Linscnmeyer said additional sales to
China probably will depend on China's
ability to increase its future foreign ex
change. He said since China has a low
balance of trade with the United States
the Chinese arc limited to how much they
can theoretically buy from the United
States.
UNL Ag Lconomist Loyd Fischer said
the China deal is not a sale, but rather an
agreement to allow the Chinese to enter
into the U.S. market to buy wheat. Where
as the Russian grain embargo, Fischer said,
was on an additional 17 million tons nego
tiated above the U.S. -Russian grain treaty,
which has one more year to go, with a re
mainder of 8 million tons.
Farm by-products to fuel NU farm
By Bob Glissman
A $910,000 grant from
the U.S. Department of
Energy will allow NU to de
velop a potentially energy
self-sufficient farm at the
Field Laboratory in Mead,
said Dennis Schulte, UNL
assistant professor of agri
cultural engineering.

have a swine operation and
also will produce corn,
sweet sorghum and soy
beans, he said.
The potential for energy
self-sufficiency comes
through the conversion of
farm by-products into fuel
methane from swine
manure, alcohol from sweet
sorghum, and, as a replace
ment for diesel fuel, oil
from soybeans.
Initial plans for the pro
ject accelerated when those
involved with the Energy
Integrated Farming Systems
program of the U.S. Depart
ment of Lnergy requested
proposals from industries,
private farmers and univer
sities, Schulte said.
The university, as part
of its research, was already
developing a concept which
fit the requested proposals,
he said, and after submitting
the proposal more than a
year ago, the Department of
Agricultural Engineering re
ceived word that theirs was
one of nine programs
nationwide which would be
tinanced. Most of the other
programs which will receive
money were submitted by
private farmers.
The farm will be ran by
two people- one who will
oversee the crops and
another who will run the
swine operation, Schulte
said.
In addition to the fuel
conversion, the farm will
use solar power to help heat
the swine facility, and will
produce some of its own
fertilizer using an electric
arc discharge process. Other
techniques which will be
used include enriching the
air of the greenhouse with
carbon dioxide, matching
the water applied with irri
gation with the exact needs
of crops and soil, and drying
grain with natural air in
place of natural gas.
Some of the questions
which will be studied in
these areas, according to
Schulte, are how economi
cal and time consuming the
methods are.
