Storage facilities of Missouri country elevators

Abstract

"The objectives are to determine adequacy of present storage facilities by Crop Reporting Districts and to provide information for decisions relative to location, capacity, type, remodeling, and rebuilding of country elevator storage facilities in conjunction with the present trends in marketing techniques. The data collected pertain to the nine Crop Reporting Districts of the state and the country elevators within those districts. See Figure 1 for the location of the nine districts. Decisions relative to location, capacity, type of new storage, and marketing facilities are being made currently and likely will continue to be made over the next ten year. Those decisions are being made by farmers, cooperative associations, businessmen, and government agencies with only a small amount of factual data available."--Page 8-9
