Wheat farmers may store excess to defer penalties
The article explains options for wheat producers with excess wheat to avoid or postpone penalties. Farmers can store on farm with a bond of indemnity or escrow funds, store in a warehouse with receipts held by the county AAA committee, or pledge excess to secure a Commodity Credit Corporation loan. If none of these steps are chosen, the 49 cent per bushel penalty is due within 60 days after harvest. The policy aims to keep excess wheat off the market amid a large surplus.
