Los Angeles Secretary of Agriculture Benson urged the American Warehousemen's Association that farmers face high costs and low prices as surpluses smother farm income. He warned that warehouses are not markets and stressed the need for active markets and customers for agricultural commodities. He noted about 10,000 government grain warehouses store under uniform storage agreements with nearly two billion bushels of capacity. He cited Commodity Credit Corp. bins with 884 million bushels capacity and authorization for 100 million more, saying the government should not dominate business.

Democrats expect enough votes to pass an omnibus bill with a $12,000,000,000 soil bank, though it includes provisions disliked by Agriculture Secretary Benson.
