Wallace Seeks Farmer Storage Fees On Wheat Loans
Secretary Wallace urged farmers who pledge wheat as collateral for upcoming loans to pay storage costs. Officials say grain storage in elevators costs about one cent per bushel monthly, potentially $12 million yearly for 100 million bushels. Whether farmers or the government pays rests with the agriculture department, Roosevelt, and the Commodity Credit Corporation. Storage costs for cotton loans since 1934 totaled about $4.27 million, with expectations wheat storage to occur largely on farms to avoid charges.
