Heavy Loss if Iowa Farmers Accept Low Corn Prices
Des Moines reports hold that if Iowa farmers must take present corn prices instead of a $1 per bushel fair price, a $200 million loss looms. Corn, at 55 to 60 cents, sits about half its proposed value, with 53 cents offered in Kossuth County for new corn. Wheat and oats stay low, market factors cited include overproduction, exports slump, and foreign grain importation. Farm bureau and national committee members warn continued low prices could drive producers from business, affecting future food supplies.
