ASC to Support
Alaska Crain
Loan Program
County ASC offices will make
price support loans on barley and
oats produced in Alaska this fall.
The loan rate will be $55 per ton
or $1.32 per bushel for barley
and 88 cents per bushel for oats,
according to Philip R. Johnson,
chairman, Alaska ASC Commit
tee.
These loan programs, while
not supporting the price of the
feed grains, should prove valu
able in helping farmers meet
their harvest, drying and storage
costs, and in helping farmers
market their grain in an orderly
manner, Johnson said.
r arm - storage support loans
will be offered. In addition, it is
hoped that warehouse - storage
loans will be available in both
the Palmer and Fairbanks areas.
Warehouse-storage loans will be
available if warehouses are ap
proved by the Commodity Credit
Corporation, USD A. It appears
probable that one warehouse in
each area will be approved.
Barley, to be eligible, must
contain 16 per cent or less of
moisture. It must weigh 40 lbs.
per bushel or more.
Oats, to be eligible, may not
contain more than 14 per cent
moisture if in farm storage. If
in warehouse storage, they may
contain up to 16 per cent mois
ture if the warehouse will ac
cept them. Oats must weigh at
least 27 lbs. per bushel and
otherwise meet the requirements
of grade No. 3.
Interest on loans will be at
3 Vs per cent. Loans will mature
on April 30, 1062. However, the
grain can be redeemed at any
time by paying the amount of
the loan plus accrued interest.
Part of the grain can be redeem
ed if the farmer wishes.
If grain is stored in farm stor
age, it will be sealed when the
loan is made. For grain placed
in commercial warehouses, the
warehouse will issue the farmer
a negotiable warehouse receipt.
The farmer wr i 11 endorse the
warehouse receipt to CCC when
the loan is made.
Additional information on these
loan programs is available in
county ASC offices in Fairbanks,
Palmer and Homer.
