Wet Corn Spells Bankruptcy For Many Farmers
A UPI report from Washington quotes Agriculture Department official Bob Bergland warning that high moisture in this year’s corn could push many midwestern farmers into bankruptcy. Drying equipment costs are prohibitive and government loan aid favors signed-up producers, leaving two-thirds of Illinois, 60 percent of Indiana, half of Ohio, and 40 percent of Iowa without relief. The situation threatens tenancy-heavy regions and a large stock of high moisture corn already uneligible for loans.

Huron County Farmers Feel Financial Squeeze On Corn
Local officials report a weaker market for corn in Huron County due to moisture penalties. Buyers pay about 94 cents per bushel for 15 percent moisture, but drying costs cut net to 60–70 cents. Officials warn the worst pressure hits starting farmers, especially young operators, with many enrolled in the ACP grain program securing some income. Weather and harvest timing will determine the extent of the squeeze.
