Government CCC Investments Surplus Farm Crops Now Exceed 6.25 Billion
The Commodity Credit Corporation holds over 6.25 billion in surplus farm crops including wheat corn cotton and dairy products making up three quarters of the total. CCC owns 2.25 billion in farm products and has 4 billion in loans. A plan to convert storage costs into shipping uses moves surplus foods to hungry families in free nations. The Church World Service and 30 denominations coordinate a three year foreign distribution totaling 7.5 million dollars, delivering a value of foods like wheat corn milk and eggs per overseas family. Catholic and Jewish operators join a tri faith effort toward a common goal.
