■s-« ^r' Graham From Page 1 For (be lint 11 months of 1988, the averase price of commercial chickens, broilen and fkyen in creased 32 percent. Turkeys were next with a 20 percent increase, followed by all Imf cattle with an eight percent increase. All hogs showM the largest average price drop with a 17 percent decrease, followed by all eggs and all milk, both down two percent. Broiler income likely will in crease because of higher prices and production. The increase in turkey prices may offset a small decrease in production. Although hog marketings are up, income may be down because of lower prices. The increase in beef cattle prices may not be enough to offset the decline in market ings. Egg and milk income likely will drop slightly because of low er prices and production. .. /Nationwide, flue-cured tobac co production increased 15 per cent, burley tobacco rose nine percent, peanuts increased 14 percent and cotton rose two per cent. Com production dropped 34 percent; sorghum for grain de clined 26 percent and soybeans decreased 21 percent. The nationwide cattle inven tory is expected to be the lowest since 1961 because of declines in cattle slaughters, fewer feeder cattle, retention of heifers to re build herds, and a small calf crop. Retail beef prices are expect^ to rise nearly live percent. Re cord high prices were set in the summer and fall. Higher con sumer income and low unem ployment supported strong beef . prices. Demand for beef exports was strong, especially higher value cuts to Japan. Production costs increased as feed grain stocks dropped 12 per cent by the end of the 1987-88 marketing year. Pork production is projected to increase nine percent. Slightly higher slaughter weights than in 1987 fiirther increase supplies. Prices are expected to drop 16 percent as a result of rising sup plies. Exports increased to Mex ico and to Japan as the U.S. re placed Taiwan as a major sup plier. Higher consumption and prices likely will lead to in creased domestic poultry pro duction. Domestic broiler pro duction is expected to increase four percent Broiler prices are projected to increase 16 to 21 per cent. Turkey production is pro jected to increase three percent; prices up eight to 12 percent. Although egg production is projected to increase one percent in 1988, it began to decline mid year because of negative returns. Prices were expected to stay ab out 62 cents per dozen. Per capita consumption is projected to de cline two percent, as a result of competition from more “conve nient” breakfast foods and tbe decrease in family sit-down breakfasts on weekdays. Overall, the nationwide agri cultural economy is expected to improve in 1988. Farm cash re ceipts, farm assets and export volume and value increased. Direct government payments were lower. The value of inven tory change dropped substantial ly. Farm debt decreased. Produc tion costs increased slightly. Net 4p,sh income remained un changed. (See Table 2.)

Fueled by higher commodity prices and strong exports, crop receipts increased 11 percent. Livestock receipts increased flve percent as red meat and poultry consumption reached a record 220 pounds per person, prices rose to cover higher production costs and exports remained strong. Total farm assets increased as farmland values strengthened on the basis of higher farm income and lower interest rates. Farm land values are projected to in crease five to seven percent in 1988. Export volume increased 14 percent; export value rose 26 per cent. Export volume and value increased as a result of record livestock sales, increased corn and wheat sales to the USSR and higher poultry, beef and tobacco sales to Japan. Because strong market prices meant lower deficiency pay ments, direct government pay ments dropped 11 percent to $15 billion. The value of inventory change dropped substantially, to nega tive $8 billion from negative $1 billion in 1987. Because market prices exceeded loan rates, far mers sold commodities on the open market. Because of strong prices, farmers let inventories decrease. The value of Commodi ty Credit Corporation redemp tions (primarily food grain and feed grains) exceeded piacement by $3.5 billion in 1988, adding to farmers’ cash flows. Total farm debt dropped two percent to $140 billion. Farmers had a larger cash flow to pay down debt and interest rates were lower most of the year in major agricultural areas. Production costs increased largely because of drought- induced higher animal feed costs. Net cash income remained at $57 billion because of strong livestock prices. Lower crop pro duction was offset by higher prices. In 1989, domestic crop produc tion is expected to increase be cause of lower acreage reduction requirements, elimination of paid land diversion and the out look for strong prices. Area for harvest may increase 25-36 mil lion acres. Domestic meat production is TiUtI Eagl es From Page 1 big head" and only won four games after Christmas, said Cox. “We can fast break with any body,” said Cox about one of the team’s strong points. “We’re playing average, maybe a little better,” she said. “Than fans got their monies’ worth in the girls’ game,” she said. Much of the Lady Eagles’ success has come from . Crouell, Bryant and Brimmer. Crouell has been a starter since the seventh grade and is always a scorer, said Cox. But this year she is more of a team player, said the coach. Bryant “is coming around” and the fesity little guard is playing calmer than before, a sign of experience and leadership, said Cox. Perhaps the biggest sur prise has been the improved play of Brimmer, averaging about 13 points a game in the last four contests. “She’s one of the great ones. She does all the little stuff that nobody but a coach notices,” said Cox. Anthony Robinson, a 6-9 senior, led Havelock’s 66-42 romp in the boys’ game with 18 points while Le&l George had 16. Johnny Gatlin led West Craven with 11 points. WHtCrwM... VMsnr Nn* II II II I 11 — 11 II —It uvaocKw MkM| MiMM II. LiM Ntrit II. KMim Hwrlt 13. tarntt I, Nnft t NrtM 11 Imtii t Umy t. Wll t MMm 1.

Rober son notched an escape with eight seconds left but was not able to draw closer. The Pack rolled in the next four weight classes on decisions by Bobby Gibbs and Marc Rios and pins by Nelson and Murphy. Rios pulled out a 12-11 decison at 140 pounds by scoring an escape with eight seconds re- maiiring. Washington advanced its mar gin with three forfeit wins against Allen's win at 171. In the final match — at heavyweight — Tim Tuck, weighing 213 pounds, scored two points on escapes and added a penalty point to hold off 242- pound Eddie McKeel. “We looked flat tonight,” said Brown. “We weren't wrestling with a lot of intensity. We got a lot of decisions where we expected pins. “Next week, we'll have to wres tle with twice the intensity or we'll find ourselves two down in the conference. Conley is, with out a doubt, one of the top Class 3-A teams in the east.” G>tnmodjt/ 1967 Aft.

World meat production is ex pected to rise with slight in creases in pork, beef and veal production and moderate in creases in poultry production. Crop prices likely will remain strong because of lower world production, shorter beginning stocks and higher consumption. Domestic and world soybean, com and wheat use are projected to exceed production. As a result, 1989-96 beginning stocks are pro jected to be down significantly. Livestock and poultry prices are expected to remain fairly good because of increased con sumption, short supplies, and continued economic growth. Irit499, &rm cash receipts (see table 2) are expected to increase because of higher crop produc tion and prices and the continua tion of strong livestock prices. Direct government payments probably will continue to decline as strong market prices lead to lower deficiency payments. The elimination of paid land diver sion also will contribute to lower direct government payments. The value of inventory change is expected to increase substan tially as crop farmers rebuild in ventories drained by the 1988 drought and livestock produc ers, especially beef cattle, rebuild herds. Net cash income probably will drop because farmers are re building inventories. Production costs are expected to increase three to flve percent, primarily because of higher crop input prices and increased acreage planted. Livestock pro duction costs are expected to in crease the first half of 1989, but not to the extent of 1988. Prices may decline somewhat as the '89 crops are harvested. Farm debt is expected to rise slightly as demand increases for operating capital because of more crop production and higher animal production costs. Fairly stable agricultural interest rates, more competitiveness in the loan market and an amply supply of money should keep farm debt flrom rising too much. Farm assets are projected to continue to rise, but not at the rate of 1988, largely because of a slowdown in farmland values. Higher commodity prices like ly will lead to a drop in export volume, but an increase in export value. Other factors that could in- fluence exports include in creased world production be cause of the good price outlook; governmental intervention in agricultural production and trade, world economic growth, foreign exchange availability in developing countries and a U.S. dollar that doesn't weaken at the rate it has in the past. 8.59 Actm wooded bndfor nle 2 milM noilh ol Ffonliinlofv NC off US 1. 20K down, owner ffnaraing.

In re cent years, proposed expansions to those activities, and resulting public concerns, have prompted the Coastal Resources Commis sion to initiate a thorough review of our regulations as they apply to military activities. Your task force is a keystone of that re view.” The task force was asked in the letter to avoid recommendations on specific projects, instead focusing on overall policies. Bes- se asks the task force attempt to present its recommendations to the commission at its May meeting. While the meetings are open to the public. Chairman James W. Hamilton of Kinston, a member of the Coastal Resources Com mission, said the meetings will not be public hearings. A public hearing is planned at an unspeci fied time, he said. Hamilton said the task force was formed because the CRC “wants to go over our guidelines” to see if updates are needed to have military uses that are con sistent with the state's coastal management plan. Sometimes the military proposals seem in consistent with the state's plan, he said. “There has been opposi tion to different issues ... but that's not primarily our reason for meeting," said Hamilton. “A balancing act is probably a good way to describe it,” said Hamilton of the task force's role in determining the needs of the military against the state's desire to protect the coastal environ ment A peaceftil, mutually benefi cial coexistence between the military and environmental con cerns are “probably what we hope to accomplish," he said. The task force will consider setting standards on issues like noise levels, microwave radia tion from electronic warfare and other systems and other environ mental questions and bring those standards together. Some projects are covered by state guidelines and some are not, he said. All projects should be given equal treament, he said. Although the task force must make recommendations on all environmental concerns, “airs pace use... is a piece of coastal resources,” said CRC staff mem ber Dave Owens. “Airspace hap pens to be a current hot issue” on how the task force can improve coordination between the milit ary and the state in protecting the environment, said Owens. He said the task force should make recommendations to CRC that balance interests for the be nefit of the most people possible and see that “everbody gets fed ftom the same pot.” He said the task force should ask itself, “Do we have adequate procedures so the Coastal Re sources Commission can coor dinate with the military?" Current projects proposed by the military and with which the state has a “difterence of opin ion” on whether they are consis tent with the state’s coastal man agement plan are the addition of two military operation areas (airspace) over Beaufort, Craven, Hyde, Pamlico and Carteret counties; a proposed electronic warfare range in Carteret and Pamlico counties, a proposed Harrier jet forward training facil ity possibly in Jones County, ex pansion of Camp Lejeune and restrictions at the Navy’s Harvey Point range on the Albemarle Sound and the Stumpy Point bombing range. According to Owens, the state has a “difference of opinion” with the military on all of the pro jects. MiUtary personnel at the meet ing said they were attending more in an advisory role than ac tive participants. Col. Tom J. Dalzell of the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base said he was at the meeting to determine the role the task force would play. He said he thought the task force could be an effective tool in helping balance the needs of the military in the coastal areas with the ne^ to protect the environ ment. Dalzell, an engineer, said the task force could make recom mendations that would make it easier for the CRC to make deci sions on proposed projects. Robin Smith of the Coastal Re- sources Commission said, “There are sometimes differ ences of opinion” between the state and federal agencies on whether proposed projects are consistent with the management plan. Basically, a federal agency must show a proposed project is consistent with the state's coas tal management plan before the project is approved. Once the agency makes its findings, the state has 45 days to review it be fore deciding whether the pro ject meets state guidelines. It can ask for more information, approve the project are dis approve it. If disapproved, the agency has an appeals recourse it can follow, usually in court. The final decision rests with the U.S. secretary of commerce. The secretary can overrule a state’s objection if the project is deter mined to be in the interest of national security or consistent with federal coastal plan policies. Ms. Smith said usually in creased expense or other diffi culties were not good enough reasons for a federal agency to bypass state guidelines. The only exception is if the agency has a legal requirement it must meet and can only meet it by bypas sing the state guidelines. Accrimtl M»T,b«f NHSC
