Wheat Loans Set at 59 to 60 Cents a Bushel
Secretary Wallace set price-support loans on 1938 wheat at 59 to 60 cents a bushel at farms and local elevators to avoid depressing export markets. Loans carry 4 percent interest, seven months for commercial storage, or May 31, 1939 for farm storage, with subsidies possibly totaling up to 150 million dollars. The plan uses base terminal rates and allows withdrawal or surrender per loan terms.
