PMA Corn Shipping Dates Announced for Jackson County
Jackson County farmers with Production and Marketing Administration purchase or loan agreements may ship corn to PMA bins from June 12 to June 27. Officials discourage shipments, urging selling on the open market where prices range from 1.35 to 1.40 per bushel, despite a 1.43 price support and costs for shelling and delivery. A PMA storage fee further cuts profits, and only one bin site at Jacob will be used this summer with bins also at Jones Ridge and De Soto. Claude A. Terry urged farmers to avoid PMA shipments.
