USDA Extends ‘69-71 Corn Crop Reseal Loan Dates
In view of the current supply
and demand situation and an-
ticipated production of the 1971
corn crop the U. S. Department of
Agriculture recently announced
that loans on 1969 and 1970 crop
corn under extended (reseal)
loan, and 1971-crop corn put
under farm-stored loan will be
extended beyond their announced
July 31, 1972, maturity date.
The extended loans on 1969 and
1970-crop corn stored on farms
were to mature July 31, 1972.
Farmers will be given the option
to extend these loans until May
31, 1973.
For the 1971 crop, the regular
warehouse-and farm-stored loans
will also mature on July 31, 1972.
However, producers will be given
the option to extend their 1971-
crop farm-stored loans until May
31, 1973.
The quantity of reseal farm
stored loans outstanding for the
1969 crop is about 75 million
bushels; for the 1970 crop, the
But Putdiman.
“CHIK-EZE”
Hinged bottom model Chik-Eze includes egg tray which can
be put into use at 10 weeks.
This feature will actually permit birds to be kept in the
start/grow cage at full laying age if necessary. It also eli
minates problems of egg gathering and egg breakage if
circumstances delay movement of pullets to grow/lay or
permanent lay cages, and it takes care of eggs from birds
that lay permaturely. The lowered floor provides a 2 inch
gap for eggs to roll out onto tray.
THE ALL NEW FLAT DECK CHIK-EZE
PULLET REARING CAGE
. . . offers durability, economy, performance and practical
labor saving features that increase management efficiency.
The heart of the system is the Big Dutchman chain and*
trough feeder providing 96 inches of feeding space per
cage. There is full availability of all the feed to all the birds.
All feed is automatically recirculated and remixed, result
ing in better feed consumption.
Extra feed capacity makes high density of birds per cage
row practical and manageable.

quantity is about 125 million
bushels.
In addition, USDA officials
anticipate that about 300 million
to 400 million bushels from the
1971 crop will be put under farm
stored loan and extended until the
May 31, 1973 maturity date.
The USDA explained that
announcement of the loan plans
has been made because it may be
a factor with some producers in
deciding whether to store or sell
during current harvest-time. '
Additional details on the ex
tended loan program and other
crops that will be covered will be
issued then the 1972 Feed Grain
program is announced.
