Larger corn buildings offer cheaper storage
County Extension Director E I Rosenberger says large permanent corncribs can store corn for under 10 cents per bushel per year in Pocahontas County, far cheaper than small or temporary cribs. With 1958 corn needs rising, officials urge planning now for possible new cribs or bins to handle the 1957 crop and future storage demands.

Storage costs and plans for corn facilities discussed
Phillips explains that small temporary storage costs 65 to 80 cents per bushel, while larger or permanent structures drop to 7 to 9 cents per bushel annually when fully utilized over 20 years. Permanent 1000 and 5000 bushel cribs and steel bins are analyzed with life spans and yearly costs. The federal government offers 16 cents per bushel storage reimbursements and 4 percent loans up to 80 percent. Rosenberger points to Midwest Plan Service plans via Pocahontas extension office. A purse theft and a fox culling incident are also noted.
