Storing Grain Pays
rs To so Gents

Corn and wheat stored on the
farm and sold later in the year
often bring Is to so cents a bushel
more than grain sold at harvest
time, says L. E. Folsom, extension
economist at Ohio State Univers-
ity.
He says capable farm managers
may pay for farm bins and cribs
out of this added income and still
have the bins and cribs for future
use.
Farm storage is especially inn
portant in this year of big grain
supply, he says. With large corn
and wheat crops now in prospect,
it is good time to add that stor-
age space. Supplies of wheat and
corn will be at record levels after
harvest. Farmers who have ade-
quate storage will be in position
to spread out their marketing.
Without storage they may be fore
ed to sell on low cash-market at
harvest time.
County extension offices have or
soon will have information about
storage facilities. Farmers may OBJ
tain information from the Produc-
ton and Marketing Administration
about bin construction loans. Up to
80 percent of the cost of the stor-
age facilities is available. with a
years to pay and interest at a per-
cent,
