Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This study was made at the request of the Extension Service of Clemson Agricultural College. Its purpose was to obtain and evaluate information relating to ( 1 ) the quantity and quality of grains marketed in South Carolina, (2) the types and adequacy of grain-handling facilities, (3) the location of such facilities with respect to grain production and consumption areas, (4) the local grain marketing practices, and (5) recommendations for improving the grain marketing system and handling facilities in the various production and consumption areas in the State. A field survey of grain-handling facilities was made during the summer of 1953 through personal interviews with all the principal grain buyers and handlers in the State, as well as many small buyers and processors. Observations were made as to the numbers, sizes, and types of grain-handling facilities, their location in relation to production and consumption areas, and the marketing practices and local customs followed in the receiving, handling, care, and shipping of whole grain. Information was furnished by local grain handlers as to the quantity of each grain of the 1952 crop that was bought from farmers, from local dealers, and from other sources, and the utilization made of each type of grain that was bought.
