March 31 Deadline for Corn Purchase Agreement
Marion County farmers face a March 31 deadline to obtain corn purchase agreements to secure a government price support of 1.63 per bushel for the 1953 crop. The 17.4 percent national acreage reduction translates to a 28 percent cut locally, with penalties mainly affecting loan eligibility. The ASC SUS office will move to the Carpenter's Union building at South Washington and East Mitchell, with new hours 8 to noon and 1 to 5 on weekdays.
