The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service announced several temporary steps to enable it to respond more quickly to the high demand for Commodity Credit Corp.-owned soybeans. The CCC has suspended its practice of contacting storing warehousemen before selling soybeans for cash to a third party said Collyn Peterson deputy director in the ASCS Kansas City office. In addition he said minimum quantities for sales will be 25000 bushels or all of a warehouse total inventory if less than that. ASCS has added telephone lines to handle calls from those interested in buying soybeans Peterson said.
