Still Time to Reseal Old Corn Farmers Reminded
Iowa farmers cautioned on resealing old corn as hot dry weather reduces prospects for a strong crop. Merrill L. Robuck, chairman of the Marion County ASC, urged owners with 1958 and 1964 loan corn to reseal and those who planned to deliver loan corn to apply now. Resealing guarantees feed on the farm and shields against higher costs, with a storage payment of 15 cents per bushel for keeping 1953 and 1954 loan corn one more year.
