Price Support Loans Protect Farm Prices and Markets
Farmers increasingly use the commodity price support loan program to guard prices, promote orderly marketing, and boost future bargaining power. U S D A reports show 1967 crop wheat under loan through October nearly doubled from a year earlier and the year’s totals for barley, corn, soybeans, and grain sorghum were higher than 1966. Clark County committee chair Dale Poorman notes unusually heavy county loan activity and urges farmers to inquire about eligibility for price support loans which guarantee the loan rate and allow redemption to sell at a higher market price later.
