Farm Surplus Strains Storage as Grains Go Market
Government grain stockpiles in Texas prompt farmers in Jim Wells County to fear losses from lack of storage for bumper sorghum. Wheat stored in local elevators from drought years adds to surplus, with market prices near 1.75 per cwt while parity lingers at 2.40. Prospects include tomato prices at 1933-34 levels and continued reliance on parity support amid expanding atomic plant costs and energy use. Farmers expect to benefit from parity while facing volatility and uncertain market timing.
