AAA has launched a purchase program in Holt county that will protect farmers in the event of corn price advances between now and October 1. Elevators are now making these price - protection purchases for the account of the Commodity Credit Corporation. Here’s how the plan works: The farmer who delivers corn to a country elevator acting as agent for the Commodity Credit Corpor ation immediately receives the applicable ceiling price. Later, if corn prices are increased on or before October 31, he receives a supplementary payment equal to the difference between the price at the time he sold and the high-1 est applicable price between the date of such sale and October 31.
