Corn under government control in Washington County Iowa
Approximately 165 million bushels of old Iowa corn were under federal control as of January 1 in Washington County. Of this, 131 million were in CeCC bins and about 25 million in local elevators and warehouses. Six million bushels of 1949 crop and about 81.5 million bushels of 1950 crop were on farms under loan or sealed. Moving corn between cribs could ease storage as spoilage rises and moisture remains high.
