Kenith E Hart chairman of the Butler County ASC urged area corn producers to monitor local prices to see if recent market advances make it advantageous to redeem their price-support loans and sell on the market. He noted area prices about 12 cents above the county loan rate of 1.01 per bushel, with national averages about 8 cents over the local rate two weeks before April 24 and reporting points showing a range from 18 cents above to 1 cent below the loan.

Movement of Grain To Provide Options For Local Producers
Area farmers with warehouse stored grain under price-support loan were reminded of options if their loan grain moves to another storage location. Kenneth E.

Equity grows if market prices rise. check with county ASC officials for details.
