As wet grain enters the top of the bin, it
flows into the upper drying chamber as har
vested, with no need for a wet holding bin
This upper chamber holds up to 4 feet of wet
grain (2250 bushels)
Every seven minutes, a continuous flow
auger makes a complete revolution around the
upper drying floor, drawing the dried grain into
the lower cooling area
Hot air is introduced under the upper floor to
dry the wet grain and to heat the surface of the
gram that is distributed into the lower cooling
chamber The air that is used for cooling the
gram picks up heat during the cooling process
This heated air is then used again in the drying
process, saving on fuel costs
When not being used for drying, the bin will
store 8500 bushels of grain

CCC offers
buy wheat
stated
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Beginning last Tuesday, the
Commodity Credit Cor
poration will offer to buy
wheat at declared prices,
Secretary of Agriculture Bob
Bergland said today. Pur
chases will be made on a
first-come, first served
basis, he said.
CCC has been buying com
and wheat by issuing in
vitations to sellers asking
them to submit bids offering
their gram for sale.
County offices of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service
will be notified of the local
purchase price Sellers may
then offer a specified
quantity of wheat at the
posted county price thru the
county ASCS offices. A
farmer must have title to
and possession of the gram
at the tune an offer is sub
mitted.
For farm-stored gram, m
the event CCC is not able to
accept delivery within 30
days after acceptance of the
offer, CCC will pay the
farmer storage at the rate of
0685 cents per bushel per
Program is going to move
forward m Carroll County. I
wholeheartedly endorse the
concept of the Johnsongrass
Control Law, MDA will
steadfastly enforce it and
with the active support of the
County Weed Control Board,
Carroll County farmers and
to
at
pnces
day beginning on the 31st
day after acceptance until
delivery of the gram is ac
cepted by CCC.
No storage will be earned
by the fanner if delivery is
delayed by the fanner.
Payment for warehouse
stored grain will be made
when the farmer delivers
acceptable warehouse
receipts to the country of
fice.
Payments for farm-stored
grain will be made when the
producer delivers
warehouse receipts for the
grain or a completed
commodity delivery notice
showing quantity and quality
delivered to the county ASCS
office.
If requested by the
producer, advance payment
of up to 80 percent of the
purchase price (bushels
offered times the basic
county purchase price) will
be made after the offer is
accepted
Bergland said wheat
purchases will continue until
a quantity equal to that
suspended from shipment to
the Soviet Union has been
removed from the market.
