No Marketing Quotas for Corn Needed Says Plan Advocate
Carroll county farmers and others in the corn belt are unlikely to need marketing quotas on corn unless they exceed acreage allotments. J W Erdmier says cooperation in the AAA program brings definite payments, soil conservation, and a corn loan guarantee, while non cooperators face uncertain gains. The Illinois wheat crop for 1938 is forecast at about 40,244,000 bushels, down 5,000,000 from last year.

Corn price forecast hinges on farm allotments and weather
A Carroll County Farm Bureau message from the Illinois Agricultural Association says 35c corn or less next fall is possible if farmers plant normal acreage and weather stays normal. USDA April 1 corn stocks stand at 1 067 000 000 bushels, a historic carryover, with quotas and potential shortages depending on farmers’ adherence to allotments. If within allotments, loans could fix parity and net about 70 cents per bushel for the 1938 crop, else prices collapse.
