A new marketing plan for Pella area corn production will be offered through the Pella Farmers Cooperative Exchange after signing a Planned Marketing Program with Farmers Grain Dealers Association of Iowa. Farmers may sign up to half their planned 1976 corn production or as little as 1000 bushels for the 1976 77 crop year ending September 30 1977. FGDA will handle time place and mode of transport to secure best prices, with sign-ups from now until April 30. FGDA is owned by 310 local cooperative elevators statewide, owned by 120000 Iowa farmers.
