Combination corn loan option gives plan flexibility
A farmer may redeem part of stored corn under the 1940 loan extension, keeping rest under loan. Nels G. Christiansen says the measure aids feeding livestock until the 1940 crop matures and preserves price support. Farmers must notify the county AAA committee, have corn graded at least No. 8, and the settlement depends on grading and full loan quantity.
