THE PHARR PRESS, PHARR (HIDALGO COUNTY), TEXAS
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1977
Target Price
For Grain In
1978 Is $4.27
Grain sorghum target prices for
1977 will be $3.75 cwt. This is ac-
cording to USDA’s latest calcula-
tion and is down from the $4.02
level earlier expected by GSPA.
The drop comes as a result of
USDA using the average of 1974
and 1975 cost of production instead!
0f 1975-76. *
The dramatic increase in cost of
production in 1975 and 1976 will
boost 1978 target prices to about
$4.27 cwt., USDA sources indicated.
Under the new 1977 farm bill,
grain sorghum targets will be set
In relaion to the cost of produc-
tion. This is a result of years of
work by Texas Grain Sorghum Pro-
ducers Board and Grain Sorghum
Producers Association in. studying
production cost and GSPA initiating
legislation in 1973 that required
USDA to do an in-depth study of
producion cost.
The old method of figuring grain
sorghum support levels was in re-
lation to the nutritional value of
corn. Under that formula, grain
sorghum would have been only $3.3&
cwt. in 1977 and $3.58 in 1978. The
Change raises grain sorghum tar-
gets by 36 cents in 1977 and 69
cents in 1978 more than if they
were still tied to corn.
