Illinois farmers push to sell grain via farmer elevators
Chicago June 24 Direct selling grain by Illinois farmers through the Chicago board of trade is being studied by the Illinois Agricultural association. W G Shart reports meetings in several districts were unanimously for the plan. The group advocates more farmer elevators to create a competitive market and reduce transport costs. A farmer brokerage house could allow direct sales to buyers, feeders, and exporters, lowering the role of private elevators and the speculative element in grain pricing.
