Permit Plan Aims to Streamline Iowa Grain Movement
The United States Department of Agriculture backs a Cedar Rapids led permit plan to move grain and ease wartime congestion. A five-copy permit, issued by a Cedar Rapids agency, would govern broker and purchaser transfers, with Harry Sundberg named issuing agent for the area and Howard Dale chairing a temporary committee. The plan seeks to curb unworkable shipments and off-condition grain while expanding county level checks and decentering functions without adding county staff.
