Farm expert says food price decline unlikely
American Farm Bureau president William J. Kaufuss told a news meeting in Indianapolis that record U.S. grain crops this year will not likely lower consumer food prices. He cited ongoing costs in labor processing and transport and federal budget deficits driving inflation. He noted USDA projections of higher food prices in 1975 and argued exports reduce government program costs while boosting jobs. He stressed the economy relies on exports for grains, soybeans, corn and cotton and cited a wide range of household food quantities from meat to dairy.

Russia remains the world’s top milk producer with 202 billion pounds in 1974, while U.S. output nears 116 billion pounds. The report notes Russia's large dual purpose cattle herd and high per capita dairy consumption.
