Red Cross May Get Surplus Grain in Midwest Farm Drive
Des Moines July 4 UP The American Red Cross considers sending part of the Middle West farm surplus abroad to aid hungry civilians in war zones. Farmers would donate supplies rather than cash, with Iowa growers open to small grain and livestock gifts though only a few groups have been interviewed. Corn and wheat would likely be favored, hogs perhaps, due to pork and lard surpluses and low prices. The Red Cross has already purchased some surplus from the Commodity Credit Corporation using export subsidies to sell below domestic prices. No plans yet to organize collections.
