Grain Elevators To Be Taken By Growers
Five large grain firms and 5,000 cooperative elevators would be merged into a grower owned, financed and controlled system. Plans, presented to the American Farm Bureau Federation, envisage cooperative marketing bodies gaining trading privileges on the Chicago board of trade and a regional, farmer controlled grain merchandising agency. A committee led by AFBF President Bradfute will study feasibility, with capitalization around 20 million dollars and control of substantial Chicago elevator capacity.
