Farmers Get More Time to Make Price Decisions
Farmers can redeem crops from government loans at any time before maturity by paying loan plus interest. A new system ties final price support applications to loan maturities, giving producers more time to judge market conditions and sell when prices exceed the support level. Maturities vary by crop from March 31 to July 31 with final filing about 30 days before each date.
