A survey by the Iowa Farm Bureau finds storage space and railroad transport will be insufficient for this year’s corn and soybean crops. Elevator managers across 98 counties report grain on hand, needed rail cars, and merchandising changes to handle the 1973 crop, amid ongoing press and paper shortages.
Elevators in the north central district face the worst transport squeeze with grain equal to two thirds of capacity needing market movement before harvest. Managers expect only one third of required railroad cars. Central southwest districts hold about 60 percent full, while in eastern districts elevators run one third full. Trucks move most grain to barge points on the Mississippi River, with one southwest manager boosting truck moves but cutting truck bid by 18 cents per bushel.
