Bye - Grain Storage Facilities Are Now Available Farmers, farmer groups and warehousemen needing grain storage facilities can apply at the county ASCS office for use of Commodity Credit Cor poration (CCC) bins says Joe Getty, chairman of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee. Eligible producers who participated in the set-aside program may obtain farm- stored price support loans for their corn and grain sorghums stored in rented CCC bins. Also, soybean producers are eligible for farm-stored price support loans stored in CCC bins. Space to store about 160,000 bushels is available at the Woodstock bin site. The cost for bin rental is one cent a bushel per month, or fraction of a month based on the rated capacity of the bin. Most CCC bins have 3,250 bushel rated capacity. Use of aeration equipment is recommended and is available for a slight additional charge, but no drying facilities are permitted on the bin site, he said. Grain stored in the rented bins is entirely the respon sibility of the farmer, group of farmers, or warehousemen who rent the bin. All inquiries and requests about bin rentals should be made at the McHenry County ASCS office.
