CREDIT ELEVATOR PROBLEM HURTS IOWA FARMS
Cedar Fath May 11. George Larson Fr Dodge state elevator official and Frank Robotka Iowa extension specialist told Black Hawk and Bremer county farmers that Iowa’s 300 elevators have written off at least 1.25 million dollars in eight years as bad debts. Book accounts total about 5.9 million with interest charges totaling 306 thousand yearly. Mills expansion shows limited profit with power costs at 40 percent of total costs and many mills operating at or below break even despite extensive elevator activity.
