1961 Barley Price
Support Set
Prices for the 1961 crop of
barley will be supported at $1.04
a bushel In Morrow County, Da
vid McLeod, office manager,
Itural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation office, an
nnnMri tnriav. This compares
with a support of 90c per bushel
for the 1960 barley crop.
The basic rate is for barley
rnAra Nn c? nr better. It is ad
justed by discounts for grade and
quality to determine support
prices for individual producers.
Discounts are the same as for
the 1960 crop program.
For major producing areas,
county support rates reflect term
inal rates less the freight and
handling charges needed to get
the barley to terminal markets.
Terminal rates are available at
the county ASC office for farm
ers who wish to store their grain
in a terminal elevator.
As in past years, price support
will be carried out through farm
and warehouse stored loans and
purchase agreements. Support
will be available from harvest
time through Jan. 31, 1962.
Corn and grain sorghum pro
ducers will not be eligible for
price support on tneir iii crop
barley unless they participate In
the 1961 feed grain program.
Producers of barley who did not
produce corn or grain sorghum
in 1959 and 1960 and who do
not produce these crops in 1961
will be eligible for support on
their 1961 crop barley.
