Ground corn too costly for swine feeding
Iowa State College specialist A L Anderson says grinding hybrid and other hard corn raises pig intake of protein supplement but usually not enough to cover grinding costs. Purdue results show higher feed intake and gains with ground corn, yet profitability remains limited. Hardness of hybrid corn shows no significant effect on daily grain consumption or digestion, with shelled forms palatable and as efficient as softer varieties. Differences between open pollinated and hybrid corns are small and often insignificant.

Stored Corn Offered For Sale At 65 Cents Per Bushel
Government decides to sell all country stored corn totaling 160 million bushels at 65 cents per bushel. The stock covers corn from 1937 to 1939 now in federal hands and will affect market supply. The move aims to reduce government holdings and ease surplus pressures.
Government corn price policy and storage levels discussed
Wallace's Farmer reports that the 65 cent government price lacks appeal when cheaper private corn is available, noting regional price differences across Ohio and the east. It suggests much government corn may be shipped out after new crop prices firm up, while 70 million bushels remain stored with no policy change.
