Farm Storage Bin Loans Proposed by House
Grain farmers would receive government loans of 1714 cents per bushel to build storage bins on their property under a Commodity Credit Corporation act provision passed by the House with Rep. John Sanborn of Idaho leading support. Sanborn said the loan equals the cost of storing grain at terminals for a year and that farmers would own the bins, with the government recouping its funds within two years from farm subsidies. The CCC, created in 1933 to stabilize prices, would extend authority to meet harvest time storage needs and ease freight car shortages by encouraging on farm or nearby storage rather than terminal facilities. Storage on the farm is touted as a solution aligned with the GDP economy program and practical amid world conditions.
