Loans for building storage up to
80 per cent of the cost may be OBJ
tanned unless a producer has as
surance that he can secure
adequate storage harvest ime he
would be wise to provide storage
on his own farm. The increased
profit possible with proper stor-
age will well exceed the cost of
storage the first year. according
to Mr.. Goodman.
There have also been COM

their grain tested by sending a
