...purchases under its support plan. It expected to have to do the same with as much as 600 million bushels of corn-more than is normally sold commercially in a year. But with most storage space filled, a huge amount of "free grain" not encompassed by the support program had been thrown on the market. Cash corn had been driven as much as 40? below the support price, and wheat down to 20? below its support level...
