Potter County Agricultural Agent Ted Alexander reports the current low wheat price and a government loan program have nearly halted sales. Most wheat is stored at 65 to 67 cents per bushel, with redeemable loans carrying interest and storage costs, effectively guaranteeing a floor around 70 cents rather than forcing sales. Farmers may redeem and sell if prices rise, but few will. The market price is about 15 cents per bushel.
