ASCS News

By TOM G. TAYLOR

Farmers who may be faced with storage problems for this year's grain crops can obtain funds to build additional facilities or to expand their present storage structures.

The farm facility loan program authorizes ASCS to loan up to $100,000 to producers needing farm facilities for storing dry or high moisture grain, soybeans, and high moisture forage and silage. Loans are also available for drying and handling equipment. The interest rates for loans is now 13 per cent.

Eligible storage structures include conventional bins, flat, multipurpose structures and silo-type facilities. The drying equipment includes continuous-flow dryers, batch or in-storage drying systems as well as systems that dry by aerating or circulating the crop.
