Government aims to stretch bin stored corn for farmers
Nebraska holds forty five million bushels of government bin stored corn with sixteen million frozen for wartime needs. The program allows weekly sales to farmers and feeders within the center trade area, blending with inferior new crop corn to extend supply. Eligibility requires county PMA approval and a stated need for blended or straight government corn while avoiding speculation.

Neighbors Harvest 55 Acres Of Corn For Neighbor In Need
Beginning at about 830 in the morning neighbors and friends picked 55 acres of corn for Floyd Larson who had an appendectomy last Wednesday. A large crew unloaded and elevated the corn into cribs while Edick A Anderson led preparations. Trailers belonged to local families and many volunteers formed a corps of pickers and helpers with a big dinner provided for all. The event resembled an old time husking bee but used modern mechanical pickers, and the effort stood as a generous act by the community.
