Step II Feedstuffs should be
shipped by the federal government
from the glutted areas. Oats and
feed barley are particularly good
feed for maintenance of livestock
and are presently cheaper per ton
than hay. In addition, the storage
costs to the government over the 3-
year reserve period would be
comparable to the value of the
grain itself.
Grain should be shipped in
volume to secure favorable (near
cost) freight rates. These low cost
rail rates could also be used for
hay from the Midwest.

should subsidize the cost of moving

Woodland added that this
problem will not be solved over
night and may take up to six
months before any relief is per
manent. He said, “I feel the NFO’s
plan assures farmers in that area
of the country continued help until
the situation changes.”
