AGRICULTURE MEETING SHOWN BY SATELLITE

Farmers and consumers with satellite dishes may be able to watch the opening day of the U.S. Agriculture Department's 70th Outlook Conference. USDA will televise the proceedings Tuesday over the C-band (4,180 megahertz) Galaxy 3 satellite transponder 25. The satellite is at 93.5 degrees. Televised sessions will begin at 9 a.m.

Participants at the outlook conference will give farmers and consumers an assessment of what's in store for 1994.

A free satellite viewers guide is available from the Montgomery/Giles County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office, 7 N. Franklin St.
