A Washington directive aims to push payment in kind signups with Friday as the final deadline. Secretary John Block said no extension. State ASCS Director Kieran Powers says surplus corn will be sent to local feed mills and elevators rather than only government warehouses. Farmers fear long trips to pick up grain, but CCC plans a new distribution approach.
