Book excerpt: "One, in May 1981 CCC tied its own hands when it adopted a policy of accepting any charge a warehouse wished to make for grain storage and handling under the CCC's Uniform Grain Storage Agreement [UGSA]. CCC specifically removed its right to negotiate for better rates. Two, with the storage and handling rates out of control, CCC then decided to save money by signing 2- to 5-year agreements which guaranteed payments to warehouses whether the space was used or not. The rationale for this program, in the beginning, was that CCC was required by law to maintain a 147-million-bushel food security reserve for wheat and a 75-million-bushel disaster reserve of any and all grains. The CCC Board approved the plan with the understanding: hat the Government would save money because long-term rates would be equal to or less than the annual UGSA rates; That the long-term agreements would contain an early-out clause in the event that the CCC needed to terminate a contract; and That CCC officials would negotiate for better rates if offers were too high"--Page 1/2.

Download or read book Running a Food Hub Volume Two a Business Operations Guide written by James Matson and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a multi-volume technical report series entitled, Running a Food Hub, with this guide serving as a companion piece to other United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports by providing in-depth guidance on starting and running a food hub enterprise. In order to compile the most current information on best management and operations practices, the authors used published information on food hubs, surveyed numerous operating food hubs, and pulled from their existing experience and knowledge of working directly with food hubs across the country as an agricultural business consulting firm. The report’s main focus is on the operational issues faced by food hubs, including choosing an organizational structure, choosing a location, deciding on infrastructure and equipment, logistics and transportation, human resources, and risks. As such, the guide explores the different decision points associated with the organizational steps for starting and implementing a food hub. For some sections, sidebars provide “decision points,” which food hub managers will need to address to make key operational decisions. This illustrated guide may assist the operational staff at small businesses or third-party organizations that may provide aggregation, marketing, and distribution services from local and regional producers to assist with wholesale, retail, and institution demand at government institutions, colleges/universities, restaurants, grocery store chains, etc. Undergraduate students pursuing coursework for a bachelor of science degree in food science, or agricultural economics may be interested in this guide. Additionally, this reference work will be helpful to small businesses within the food trade discipline.

Download or read book Local Food Systems Concepts Impacts and Issues written by Steve Martinez and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview of local food systems explores alternative definitions of local food, estimates market size and reach, describes the characteristics of local consumers and producers, and examines early indications of the economic and health impacts of local food systems. Defining ¿local¿ based on marketing arrangements, such as farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers¿ markets or to schools, is well recognized. Statistics suggest that local food markets account for a small, but growing, share of U.S. agricultural production. For smaller farms, direct marketing to consumers accounts for a higher percentage of their sales than for larger farms. Charts and tables.
