Government Grain Move Stirring Storm in Agriculture
Washington reports a rift in the grain trade as the Agriculture Department shifts surplus corn to the Southeast to curb feed prices. Private buyers dealers and feed manufacturers accuse the department of competing with them while funding land retirement and price supports. The move is tied to the new feed grain program under which farmers were paid 768 million dollars to reduce corn and sorghum acreage. Since last October the department has sold more than half a billion bushels of surplus corn to finance payments and press prices lower.
