Iowa corn spoilage worries prompt CCC purchase plan
Des Moines AP report states 20 to 25 million bushels of Iowa corn have excessive moisture and may spoil despite efforts to save it. Maurice O'Reilly, AAA Commodity Loan supervisor, says farmers will generally prevent waste while CCC buys 22.3 million bushels in 49 western counties for dry storage and later government use. He notes embargo talk requires ICC action, and explains payment terms and delivery deadlines through September 30.

OPA Cattle Order Sets Price Flexibility Amid Seasonal Shifts
Ames reports OPA fixed an $18.00 bid Chicago basis on live cattle, allowing seasonal variation across grades. Cattle stabilization won’t cap averages and keeps price flexibility as supplies shift. Hog prices likely stay near ceiling in 1945 with small fluctuations. Poultry demand should lift prices this summer and fall. Lambs depend on pasture slaughter versus finishing in feedlots.

The War Food Administration ordered all canned poultry to be set aside for armed forces starting February 14. The ban covers turkeys and chickens in cold storage and is expected to end most canned poultry supplies for the year, with exemptions only for on site use in hotels, institutions, or private homes.
