Maryland farmers read this week about price support for wheat. The report notes government measures affecting grain markets and potential impacts on farm economics.
The Production and Marketing Administration announces a 1949 support price of 2.37 per bushel for No 1 wheat stored in terminal elevators in Baltimore or Philadelphia with smaller reductions for lower grades and garlic. Loans and purchase agreements allow farmers to obtain advances and decide whether to store or sell, with government ownership if loan is unpaid by April 30, 1950.
With travel demands easing, readers are urged to prioritize genuine rest and relaxation. The message promotes taking advantage of downtime to recharge rather than chasing long journeys.
Maryland farmers may have on the farm wheat or barley storage inspected for price support without the 20 day delay after grain enters the bin. Joseph H Blandford, chairman of the Maryland PMA State Committee, announced the 30 day waiting period is lifted to speed loan program action. The move comes as storage facilities are scarce this year and less grain can be stored commercially under the loan program.
