In 1949 Cottonseed
Purchase Program
Newberry County cotton
growers may now sell their cot
tonseed to the Commodity Cre
dit Corporation under the US
Department of Agriculture’s cot
tonseed purchase program at
$46.50 per ton, Mr. J. W.
Abrams, Chairman of the coun
ty PMA Committee, said today.
The new purchase program is
designed as a supplement to
the farm storage loan program
now in effect and to support
prices of 1949 cottonseed at
levels reflecting 90 percent of
parity, Mr. Abrams said.
Purchases will be made di
rect from fa;, mere by the local
PMA Committee on delivery of
eligible cottonseed at a central
storage place, in the town of
Newberry, located on Vincent
street and formerly occupied by
Spotts Wholesale Grocery Com
pany.
The purchase program was
initiated recently as an emer
gency measure for the 1949
crop only. Many farmers were
unable to get storage facilities
to take advantage of the loan
program which was first an
nounced the last week in July,
because it was quite late in the
season. As a result reports in
dicated that many were hav
ing to sell their cottonseed at
less than support price. The
puprchase program is designed
to help correct this situation
and to give farmers more ade
quate price protection on their
eligible seed this year, Mr.
Abrams explained.
The following is a general
summary of how the CCC Cot
tonseed Purchase Program
works in the county.
1. Farmers will deliver their
cottonseed, if they wish to sell
them under the purchase pro-
p-am, to the central warehouse
in Newberry where they will
be accepted if they have a
safely storable moisture con
tent.
2. The base price upon which
payments to farmers will be
determined will be $49.50 per
ton (90 percent of August 1st
parity and the same as the rate
under the cottonseed loan pro
gram). From this base price,
$3.00 per ton will be deducted
to offset storage service and
other costs which the farmer
must assume -eunder the stan
dard storage loan program and
which must be borne by farm
ers who sell their cottonseed
under the purchase program.
Thus, the net price to be paid
farmers for acceptable cotton
seed will be $46.50 pper ton.
Mr. Abrams stated that all
ginners in the county were con
tacted Friday, October 14, and
given an opportunity to pur
chase cottonseed for the ac
count of Commodity Credit
Corporation for the reason that
they were now paying $46.50
per ton for their individual ac
counts.
