Corn Husking and Clover Seed Prices and Grain Marketing Plan
The Executive Board of the Marshall Putnam Farm Bureau suggests uniform corn husking prices of 5 cents per bushel with board and room and 6 cents without. Clover seed yields are around one bushel per acre, with uncleaned seed priced at 12 to 14 dollars. The grain marketing committee, meeting in Chicago, plans five subcommittees to study cooperative methods and market costs, with November speakers including E T Meredith, Victor Murdock, Julius Barnes and Herbert Hoover. The group warns against price slashing, fearing reduced production and higher future prices.
