Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Few industries in the United States require such a tremendous volume of space to store their products as does the grain marketing industry. Grain is stored in great quantities after harvest and before processing. As grain is harvested, a small volume is needed to fill immediate inventory requirements at grain processing facilities, but larger quantities are stored in commercial grain storage facilities for later use in this country and for export. From 1951 to early 1962, the total off-farm commercial grain storage capacity increased steadily from 2.2 billion bushels to 5.5 billion. Since 1962 this capacity has remained rather constant with only a slight decrease in the past 3 years. The present space available for storage likely will take care of most needs in the foreseeable future.
