Illinois Farmers Outlook on CCC corn sales export policy
Extension Service discussion with L J Norton professor of agricultural economics at the University of Illinois about the Commodity Credit Corporation stockpiles. CCC had 305 million bushels stored on farms plus 81 million unsold from old corn and 97 million on new corn loans. Norton notes selling corn at current market prices for export may reduce government losses and keep stock moving, with price around $1.20 per bushel to eastern and central Illinois farmers. He cites European demand for meat and dairy and discusses effects on loans, storage costs, and farm behavior.
