Ever Normal Granary Plan Tangles Farm Corn Storage
Expiring August 1 were loans on about 255 million bushels of corn. The Commodity Credit Corporation may extend loans, but many farmers will hand over old stocks to government to make room for the 1939 crop. The agriculture department warned last month, as bids were sought for 33,000 storage bins for defaulted corn. Railroads resisted government bins on their property and resisted lower movement costs. The plan aims to store excess grain for lean years, but will disrupt rail shipping and reduce railroad revenue due to land grant cutting carrying charges.
