Farmers urged to repair cribs for corn storage
Iowa farmers face a tight supply of crib materials for storing the 1946 corn crop. Lawrence D. Brennan of the AAA warns temporary and permanent crib materials are scarce and slow to obtain, urging Palo Alto county farmers to plan now. The CCC loan program and central market purchases are key but corn must be in weatherproof cribs to qualify. Farmers should survey crib space, contact lumber dealers for econncrib wire, picket cribbing, and rough lumber to assemble temporary cribs before harvest.
