USDA Report Charges Grain Firms With Fraud
Three large grain firms allegedly shipped far less accurate weights than records show. Between 1969 and 1975, ten million bushels of corn wheat and soybeans stored in ports were unaccounted. Cargill defended averages as storage weight gain, while Cook used phantom barges to balance books. The probe cites over $30 million in value and notes pending legislation to tighten weighing and grading controls.
