Grain producers in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Kentucky, have the option of a new USDA program to help rebuild on-farm grain storage. South Dakota Corn Growers Association Executive Director DaNita Murray says the program is a response to the derecho in the Upper Midwest and the tornadoes that plagued Kentucky this past year. “You can literally track the derecho across the map. That’s really where USDA pinpointed a storage shortage for grain. There’s not a lot of details on the program yet, but the USDA has indicated it would be a cost-share program.”
