These prices are made up
of the average prices quoted
by a number of participating
local feed and grain con
cerns. It should be noted,
however, that not every
dealer or broker handles
each commodity. All prices
are per bushel except ear
corn which is per ton.
The average local grain
prices quoted Thursday,
February 20, 1975 are as
follows:

+Bid is the price the
dealer will buy from the
farmer delivered to the null.
Offered is the price the
dealer will sell for at his mill.
++Only a very few
dealers quoted feed wheat
prices this week, and they
varied so widely that it was
impossible to arrive at an
average figure. Bid prices
ranged from under $2 to just
under $3. Offered prices
ranged from around the $2
mark to well over $3.
