Plan to aid drought struck farmers via Grain Stabilization Corp
A Farm Board survey will assess actual damage from drought and heat and determine how many families need aid for livestock through winter. The Williams plan would have the Grain Stabilization Corp sell feed grains in carload lots at market prices with notes backed by local underwriters and no profit for the corporation. The scheme aims to provide low cost feed while replacing supplies from the 1930 grain pool, and would use livestock as collateral to obtain funds for feed through the National Live Stock Marketing Association and regional credit groups.
