Utopia for Farmers Plea for Government Granaries and a Farmers Bank
George H. Phillips envisions government granaries in Chicago and a farmers bank with 50 million dollars capital as the core of a farm trust. He spoke at a Minneapolis banquet hosted by the National Grain Growers Association, urging 8 million farmers to unite to fix prices and push 40 cents a bushel for corn via government storage, federal funding, and a Chicago-based bank. He proposes taxing farmers a cent per bushel to fund elevators and a 40 cent Chicago basis, enabling long-term storage and credit, and he imagines a Chicago farmers bank with stock sold in ten-share minimums to farmers and neighbors.
