the WSJ. We dry the com at
less than 160 degrees F. and
store it apart from our
regular com on the farm
until they call for portions or
all of it.
“Regardless of delivery
date, and even afterward,
we can phone Staley any
day and take the current
futures level plus premium.
If we wait until March 1, we
automatically get that day’s
price plus premium.’ ’
Staley also pays for seed
and lets growers choose the
variety. The Manners made
102 bushels an acre with
Trojan WTXSIIS, despite
ram that stressed early
plantings, washed out fer
tilizer and herbicides, and
packed the ground until
footprints never showed.
“For comparison, yields
