Farm Outlook on 1962 Grain Program Changes
The Kossuth County Extension Director releases analysis by Marvin Skadberg of Iowa State University on the 1961 Feed Grain Program. Production fell 6 to 7 million tons below utilization for the first time in nine years, with questions about income effects. The 1962 program remains similar with barley added, and new options let farmers take payments for corn stored at local prices or stored under loan, aiding hauling and grain quality certainty.
