Corn loan program sees smaller crop for price supports
Iowa PMA officials report about 123 million bushels of the 1969 corn crop will receive price protection while applications from farmers for loans or purchase agreements are rising. Officials say the 165 to 145 million bushel figures were estimates, with actual volumes per application averaging around one thousand bushels. By late November about 3 million bushels of the new corn crop had been pledged for loans and purchase agreements, and storage concerns are easing as farmers build bins and the government anticipates unused storage of up to 20 million bushels.
