CCC Storage Needs Based During 1957
Washington (INS) The Commodity Credit Corporation says it has again held steady in emergency storage with no new additions for the fifth time since 1951. A 1957 grain reconcentration moved 300 million bushels from light to full bins, aided by a foreign wheat shortage boosting exports to about 650 million bushels. Private storage programs have loaned nearly $100 million since 1949 for 334 million bushels of capacity, while on-farm and warehouse schemes push private storage as CCC faces a possible 1958 shortfall.
