Five Part Program Aims to Boost Grain Farmers Marketing
Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland unveiled a five point plan to strengthen grain farmers marketing and boost the Commodity Loan Program. It includes a farmer owned grain reserve for 1976 crops, a May 31 1977 loan participation extension, higher 1977 loan rates for feed grains and soybeans, reduced interest rates on commodity and storage loans, and expanded farm storage and drying equipment loan coverages with lower down payments. The reserve seeks to insulate excess stocks and keep them with farmers for domestic and export needs.
