Bulk method best for grain growers
Oregon State College experiment station reports bulk handling cuts production costs by 3 to 4 cents per bushel for farmers with suitable equipment. Field study of 316 farms finds bulk from combine to shipping point viable on level land but limited by rough terrain and strained shipping points. Farm storage is costlier than commercial storage, hindered by loan access and road constraints. Summary urges cautious, cooperative expansion of bulk facilities. George Winship, now based in Pendleton, visited last Friday.
