Des Moines visit launches Emmet county corn loan seals
Emmet county officials and six sealers plan to seal corn cribs under the government loan program starting Friday in Des Moines. County appointees A Vormann M Lotth Geo Truesdale Theo Rolling and Nels Christensen supervise, with Jorgen Anderson Phil Underwood Owen Morton and John Whitesell assigned to townships. Farmers may borrow 45 cents per stored bushel at 4 percent interest, with repayment before August 2 next year, and corn may be claimed if value falls below 45 cents or rises above 75 cents. Premier concerns include open crib storage and plans for inexpensive roofs meeting state and federal standards.
