Illinois law protects farmers in elevator failures
Governor James R. Thompson signed a law giving farmers priority in grain elevator bankruptcies. The measure, House Bill 2505, sets farmers first for payment if grain assets do not cover losses, with second priority for grain sold to be resale within 30 days before bankruptcy. The package also includes an inheritance tax reduction, opposed by the governor, and affects about 200 farmers in Champaign County with debts totaling around $3 million.
