Kansas farmers form grain cooperative plan at Concordia
Four Kansas co-ops serving north central farmers announce a new grain loading facility at Concordia to bolster small rural elevators. The plan aims to reduce farmers' losses to 30 cents a bushel on wheat by pooling storage and rail access, though rail car shortages and storage gaps remain. Local cooperatives Cloud County, Randall Farmers, Delphos, and Beloit's Farmway control 16 elevators and seek to empower Kansas growers against distant corporations.
