Item 5 - Other Events                                                           

On May 28, 1999, Fisher Companies Inc. ("FSCI") announced an agreement
under which FSCI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Mills Inc. ("Fisher    
Mills") will acquire the 50% interest of Koch Agriculture Company ("Koch        
Agriculture") in the Blackfoot, Idaho flour milling facility that Fisher Mills  
currently owns jointly with Koch Agriculture.  Following the acquisition, FSCI  
and Fisher Mills  will own 100% of the Blackfoot milling facility.              

 Fisher Mills and Koch Agriculture have each owned a 50% interest in the
limited liability company that owns and operates the Blackfoot milling facility 
since July 1996.  The facility, which commenced operations of a compact flour   
mill in April 1997, was significantly expanded during 1998 through the          
construction of a conventional flour mill, which began operations in December   
1998.                                                                           

 The proposed acquisition will be consummated pursuant to the terms of a
Membership Purchase Agreement among FSCI, Fisher Mills and Koch Agriculture     
dated as of May 28, 1999.  Total consideration for Koch Agriculture's interest  
in the limited liability company is $19,000,000.                                

    Following the consummation of the acquisition, the name of the name of the
limited liability company will be changed from Koch Fisher Mills L.L.C. to      
Fisher Mills L.L.C.                                                             

  Consummation of the purchase, which is expected in the second quarter of
1999, is subject to various conditions including the receipt of applicable      
regulatory approvals. For additional information regarding the acquisition,     
reference is made to the press release dated June 2, 1999, which is attached to 
this report as Exhibit 99, and incorporated herein by reference.
