This announcement, the man on,. nai nrnvldi's farmers more time than In the past to arrange storage for continued reseal and gives users as well, additional assurance oi iuture niuinci -bilitv. Feed grains of the 19C7 crop, along with wheat and soybeans, have already been made eligi ble for reseal In farm storage and also in commercial storage. Thin ic tho first lime reseal has been provided for feed grain crops in commercial storage. Storage cosi ior carrying un.-c ..A.i.imo mulnr n i t li pr farm or commercial reseal will be cov ered by the government, rami ers who hold their 1967 grain on .u o.n, nninr first. vpnr loan will be authorized on request to shift it to commercial storage for continuation under loan in the reseal program. MeLeod points out that the term "reseal" is commonly ap plied to the renewal or exten sion of a price-support loan be yond the original maturity date. Commodities stored on the farm as collateral are put under "seal," and when the loan Is extended the collateral is "re sealed." The term "reseal" now will also be used in referring to extended loans on commodities stored In commercial warehous es although such price-supported commodities are not sealed I as they are on tne iarm. Along with the reseal an nouncement, the USDA outlined ! its sales policy for the remain dor of the 1967-68 crop market ! ing year. Since 1967 feed grain . production appears to be in ex cess of prospective use by around 6 million tons. Govern 1 ment stocks are to be unavail- nkU at lnacr ns Inner as the volume of new-crop grain un der loan is less than this ton nage. In any case, Government stocks will riot be obtainable tor unrestricted use at less than the higher of the market price or 115 percent of the loan rate plus carrying charges. The price-support loan gives farmers immediate cash and en ables them to hold their grain off the market until sales is more advantageous. fl To All Farmers: , - J HAD ENOUGH OF STRAINS ON HITCHES AND MOUNDS OF DIRT AT EVERY CORNER?
