Draayer, Chairman, Agricutural staibilization and Conservation County Committee, announced today a broad reseal program under which farmers may continue price-support loans and earn storage payments on tour farm-stored' grains after 1964 maturity dates. They will also able to convert purchase agrc'cments on the 1963 crop farm stored grains to resoa'l loans.

Grains for which roseai farm- stored loans will be available inciide 1963 cro.ps of corn, bar- oy, oat; and grain sorghum currently under farm-stored loans or purchase In addition, loans on crop corn, 1961 crop corn and 'grain sorghum, and 196i2 crop corn, oatjs and gr.ain sorghum no'w under may be extended' for another year. Farmers who to re.seal their faitn-storod grains under loan apply to their A'SCS County Office bc'foro loan maturity dates. 'Maturity dales for the tour grains arc March ,31 for grain sorghum; April 30 for barley and oats; and. July 3'1, 1964 for corn. As in the p.ast, re.seal will not be offered on any crops put under price-support loans as a result of relaxed eligibility provisions due to specified abnormal crop or weather conditions.

Storage payments are made to producers on grain under rese'al. Reseal storage payments for the 1964 program will be unchanged from those for cents per bushel on'-aU' grains except oats for whidh the rate will be 10 cents per bushel and' grain sorghum for which the rate will be 24 cents per hundred'weight. (Ff a farmer delivers or redieems his resealed: gr.ain before the 1965 maturity date, his storage payment wi'll be prorated. Storage payments will be limited to the period) oT storage in all instances where the- 'grain is delivered or redeemed earlier than the resea'l maturity d'ate. As in the past, reseal loans are subject to call by the Commodity Credit 'Corporation prior to the maturity date.

Resr-al will not be offered on '1959 crop corn. 1950 crop grairr sorghum, and igSl crop barley and oats. As 'a normal practice in the reseal operation, the older crops are periodically dropped from the program' to lessen the possi'bi'lities of deterioration and put the quantities into a position for movement into variouy outlets before lass or deterioration, occurs. Chairman Draayer pointed out that the reseal program encourages the holding of stocks of grain on the farm, thus keeping them in production areas feed grains especially are primarily consumed. It also is portant to h'a've such a decentralized storage available of disaster or defense reasons.

The 1'964 reseal program recognizes the changing storaige situation in light olf substantial stora.ge expansion in recent years and the lessening need for continued expansion as a result of the better balace ibeing achieved between grain production and needs.
