Ever Normal Granary Profits From Wartime Grain Deductions
Franklin Mullin reports Chicago AP that wartime grain price gains give Uncle Sam a paper profit on ever normal granary stocks accumulated since 1938. Government owns about 710 million bushels of wheat and other grains under federal loans, with loans above market prices boosting potential earnings. Storage and handling costs reduce actual profit, but estimates show large implied gains from 1940 and prior year wheat and 1940 crop holdings amid high loan rates and rising livestock feed demand.
