Storage charges loom as farmers and warehouses clash in Pullman
Farmers and warehouse firms in the Palouse region brace for wheat season with a looming storage fee dispute. The Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative union and the warehouse companies contend over rates, with 50 cents per ton for initial storage and 10 cents per ton monthly afterward likely to apply, up from last year. Some push for 60 cents per ton until January 1, while exporters threaten to penalize farmers who store at home if they refuse to use their warehouses. Competing campaigns and threats influence farmer choices amid growing tensions between unions and big operators.
