Steps Taken to Wipe Out Abuses in Corn Market
Washington March tentative steps by the food administration aim to reduce the price gap between what consumers pay and what producers receive for corn. Proposals were sent to grain exchanges and handlers with a request for input, with action likely once a plan forms. Officials withheld whether the goal is higher farmer returns or lower consumer prices amid troubled transport and rot‑prone corn. Speculators are said to be offering low cash prices for immediate delivery, while the public pays more due to abnormal conditions.
