Abstract: Report Preface: Over the years probably no Government farm program caused any more controversy than did the CCC bin storage operation. This controversy was not due to inept handling of the program, but the fact that the Federal Government was actually engaging in the storage of commodities which, to the thinking of some, was in direct competition with private enterprise. With the dramatic turnaround of commodity carryovers, the need for this type of storage has ended and the CCC bin storage program phased out. The director of the Grain Division, ASCS, as well as the Storage Section, felt that some of the highlights of the bin storage program should be recorded and made available for future research. With this in mind, the history of the program has been written. Mention of individuals involved in the administration of this program over the years has been omitted primarily because it would be impossible to list all those from the Washington level down through the counties who contributed to the successful administration of this very complicated program.
