Maryland Farmers to Decide On Corn Loan Possession
Maryland farmers may let the government take possession of corn placed under the 1951 price support loan on May 31, with a national take over date set for July 31. James A. Cottman, acting chairman, notes if grain stays in good condition the July date is best. if moisture rises or deterioration occurs, consider the May 1 option. The current market price exceeds the $1.73% loan rate, suggesting potential profit, though Maryland loans are expected to be redeemed and government possession unlikely. Hummingbirds have been observed to fly as fast as 60 mph. Say you saw it in The News.
