EPA to delay ban on leaded gas indefinitely
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) will soon announce
plans to delay the ban on leaded gas,
according to Oklahoma Farm
Bureau President James L. Lockett.
“Farm Bureau can claim a major
victory on behalf of its members in
Oklahoma and across the nation,”
said Lockett. “We have taken on the
EPA and won. The members of our
organization deserve the credit,
because without the strength of our
80,000 member family plus state
organization and the 3.3 million
member families across the United
States leaded (regular) gasoline
would have disappeared next
January.
“We expect a policy statement by
EPA before the end of the year in-
dicating an extension of the current
0.1 grams of lead per gallon of
gasoline for an indefinite period of
time,” he continued.
EPA was required to study the
impact a total ban on leaded
gasoline would have on older farm
equipment as a result of Farm
Bureau’s efforts during debate on
the 1985 farm bill. An amendment
pushed by Farm Bureau barred
EPA from going ahead with a ban
until the agency studied the farm
equipment impact.
Farm Bureau surveyed 3,166
farmers nationally -- 55 in Oklahoma
- on the cost of a ban on leaded
gasoline. The survey showed such a
ban would cost the average farmer
$98,000 to replace existing farm
engines that require leaded
gasoline. Each farm operator
responding in the survey had an
average of 10 engines that ran on
leaded gasoline
As a result of the survey and the
ensuing Farm Bureau efforts, EPA
was required to send a final report to
Congress on the results of its tests on
the effects of using unleaded
gasoline in older farm equipment.
This past summer EPA released
test results showing some older
engine models incurred extensive
valve seat wear when operated with
unleaded fuel. Test results further
showed that use of gasoline con-
taining as little as 0.1 grams of lead
suffered little or no damage
The soon-to-be made an-
nouncement will be welcome news
for farmers, according to Lockett.
“Such a mandated change over to
lead free gas would have forced
some farmers to buy new equipment number of refiners producing leaded

OSRC Finals Saturday with 68 ropers
BY NELSON CARTER
Pawhuska, Oklahoma has been
designated as the Steer Roping
Capital of the World through
legislation by Senator John Dahl. It
would stand to reason that
Pawhuska would be the
headquarters of the largest Steer
Roping Club in the country.
The Osage Steer Roping Club
(OSRC), established in 1981, is just
that, the largest and most successful
club of it’s kind
The Club consists of 95 members,
from Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas,
Missouri, New Mexico and
California, with monthly ropings
held at Pawhuska in the Ben ‘Son’
Johnson Arena, the John Tailchief
Arena at Grayhorse and the
Champion's finals to be held in the
Lazy E Arena, Guthrie, this
Saturday with 68 ropers competing
in the two divisions.
The OSRC ropes two divisions, the
A division is open to the Professional
who has not made the Professional
Rodeo Cowboys Associations
(PRCA) National Finals for the
preceding two years.
The B division is open to the non-
professionals of the membership,
affording them the opportunity to
compete with other ropers of the
same level, before advancing into
the A division. B ropers can rope in
both divisions, if they choose.
The OSRC has gained national
recognition for the quality of ropers
and ropings it produces.
With recognition comes support,

with added money are Premium
Beers, Bartlesville, $500, First
National Bank, Pawhuska, $200;

Boren introduces advance
deficiency payments bill
Oklahoma Senator David Boren
introduced a bill Friday, that would
require the Secretary of Agriculture
to make available to farmers, in
advance, approximately $50 million
in payments under the 1987 Wheat
Program.
According to the 1985 Farm Bill,
Boren urged his colleagues to
support the measure by stating that
“the bill adds no additional cost to
the wheat program but still provides
an invaluable service for farmers.”
Phillips declares quarterly
the Secretory must compensate dividends for common,
producers with deficiency payments
called the ‘‘Findley,” or final
payments if the loan rate is reduced
As the law stands now, farmers
would not get these payments until
June or July of 1988 Boren’s bill
would make available at least 90
percent of these funds by December
of 1987
“I was successful in this effort last
year, and it is crucial to be suc-
cessful again," Boren said.
“If farmers must wait until June
or July of 1988, instead of December
15,1987 as my bill states, they will be
unable to raise enough cash to pay
operating costs for the 1988 crop."
Boren said.
