RICHMOND — A former
co-worker of oilman Robert
Turner testified Tuesday he
overheard Turner’s wife
admit she was disappointed to
learn her husband was not
rich and that she would be bet
ter off with him dead.
Robert Boyd, who worked
with Robert Turner at the Di
amond M Oil Drilling Co. and
shared a house with Turner in
Bailey, Colo., testified in the
murder-for-hire trial of
Frances Turner, 37.
Mrs. Turner, a former
hairdresser of Bay City is
charged with capital murder
in the March 1982 stabbing
death of her husband. Pro
secutors claim the woman
hired a man to kill her hus
band 18 months after they
were married in order to col
lect insurance money and his
estimated $500,000 estate.
Boyd testified he heard
Mrs. Turner say she was “dis
appointed that Robert Tur
ner wasn’t as rich as she had
thought and that she would be
better off if Robert were
dead.”
Mrs. Turner claims her
husband was killed by an un
known man when the couple
stopped at a roadside rest stop
along U.S. 59 near Richmond.
An autopsy revealed Tur
ner was stabbed 62 times.

DALLAS — Midwestern
grain producers face another
bleak year of oversupply, tight
credit, poor exports and con
fused government policy, a
panel of experts reported.
“Weak export performance
in 1983,” said Mark Drabenstott,
economist with Federal Reserve
Bank of Kansas City, “provides
further evidence that growth in
agricultural trade in the 1980s
may prove disappointing.
“Optimistic expectations that
the rapid growth in farm ex
ports during the 1970s would
continue still have not material
ized,” he said. “And without
strong export markets, Amer
ican farmers eventually must
come to grips with the chronic
problems of oversupply.”
No crops will be in greater
relative supply, said Kansas
State agronomist William Tier
ney, than corn and wheat.
“Winter wheat planted acres
could be a record 67 million
acres,” said Tierney at a recent
export trade panel discussion in
Manhattan, Kan. “Wheat prices
are expected to remain flat for
the next few months.”

Moreover, wheat export mar
kets look gloomy.
“Sales to China are in trou
ble,” he said. “Projected total
wheat exports have been lo
wered by 45 million bushels.
“Favorable crop conditions
are reported in Argentina,” a
major competitor, “and Austra
lia is forecasting a record crop of
735 million bushels.”
He said corn production
could hit a record 8.5 billion
bushels, bouncing back from de
vastating 1983 losses caused by
drought and acreage reduction.
Many producers, Tierney
predicted, must plant more corn
to pay off the huge production
debts accrued in 1983.
“Today,” said Robert Kohl-
meyer, a Cargill marketing ex
ecutive, “we have the capacity in
this country to grow, handle,
transport, and ship almost twice
as much grain as we will export
this year.
“Even the PIK (federal Pay-
ment-In-Kind subsidy program)
cannot mask the financial im
pact of this overcapacity on pro
ducer and exporter alike.”
Kohlmeyer said the nation’s
traditional trading partners can
not pick up the slack, ahd new
export markets should be
carved from developing coun
tries where food needs are most
urgent.
“It does seem clear,” Kohl
meyer said, “that population in
developing countries will con
tinue to grow at a rapid clip —
far exceeding the industrialized
world —and population growth
translates into consumers and
growing food needs.
Kohlmeyer suggested that
government should extend new
credit loans to key export na
tions, and not hold them to out
dated contracts that will stunt
their long-term buying power.
“We must recognize the need
for flexibility in our credit
approach,” he said. “It’s more
effective to mold a credit prog
ram to fit a recipient’s needs
than to force the recipient to
accept an unchangeable
approach as we do today ”
In particular, he said, loan
credits should be issued to Mex
ico and eastern European coun
tries.
But agricultural creditk
will not get a sympathetic
ing in budget-tight Coni,
said Sen. Bob Dole, R.[
Newspaper articles
suggested, he said, “thattkij
and simplest solution"tofjl
woes would be to elinuJ
government intervention,
“I am not sue
; that bet-
iggesting i
ter credit programs will magical
ly reverse the downward trend
of grain exports,” he said.
“That’s probably years away
under the best of circumstances.
I do suggest, however, that we
can halt our loss of market share
and build a solid base of demand
for the future.”
“I can’t tell you that this
predominates on Capitol
