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.
