John Murty Urges Corn Cribbing and Buying Surplus
A letter from John Marty urges Nebraska farmers to crib and feed corn rather than burn it. He argues cribs will reduce losses from freight, boost local prices, and enable two crops of hogs, noting Europe buys surplus corn and that hogs yield profit. He cites past prices and calls for community action to store surplus at least 25 cents above central and western Nebraska rates.
