Farmer controlled grain reserve proposal to Congress
Agriculture Secretary-designate Rep. Bob Bergland says he will propose by March 1 a farmer controlled grain reserve program. Surplus grain could be held under extended loans for 3 5 or 10 years with storage payments and other incentives ending if prices rise above supports. The plan aims to reduce disaster prices and government ownership while keeping storage costs modest. Bergland outlines weather data use and a redefined role for the Agriculture Department in international trade policy and staffing changes. He also calls for adjusting wheat and corn supports to maintain balance.
