ASCS TAKES STEPS TO EASE SALES OF CCC SOYBEANS
The Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service announced several temporary steps to
enable it to respond more quickly to the high demand for
Commodity Credit Corp.-owned soybeans.
    The CCC has suspended its practice of contacting storing
warehousemen before selling soybeans for cash to a third party,
said Collyn Peterson, deputy director in the ASCS Kansas City
office.
    In addition, he said, minimum quantities for sales will be
25,000 bushels, or all of a warehouse total inventory if less
than that.
     ASCS has added telephone lines to handle calls from those
interested in buying soybeans, Peterson said.
