Bergland proposes farmer controlled grain reserve plan
Agriculture Secretary designate Rep. Bergland says by March 1 he will propose a farmer controlled grain reserve program at a very modest cost. Farmers could extend price support loans to store surplus grain for up to ten years with storage payments while prices stay below supports and cease incentives if prices rise. The plan limits state taxpayer costs to storage and would not force growers to release stored grain.
