PMA Chief Lists Condition for Soybean Loans
Des Moines AP State PMA Chairman Hervey E Hazen urged Iowa farmers that government loans and purchase agreements will be available on the 1948 soybean harvest. He said holding back part of the crop for loan or purchase helps curb speculation. The basic loan rate for 1948 on farm or warehouse stored soybeans grade No 2 or better with up to 14 percent moisture is 2.18 a bushel for green and yellow varieties and 1.98 for black brown or mixed. Premiums and discounts mirror 1947 except no loans on beans grade No 4 or lower with moisture above 14 percent.
