Wheat prices to rise seasonally as harvest ends
The Agriculture Department expects farm wheat prices to firm after harvest finishes and storage becomes available, with 1977 prices likely near the $2.25 loan rate. Loans and extended protection may lower market supply, while a potential $2.90 target could yield about 70 cents a bushel in deficiency payments if market averages stay weak.

Biomass agriculture eyed as potential energy source
The Agriculture Department notes biomass crops like corn and sugar cane could supply up to 10 percent of U.S. energy if 100 million acres were devoted to biomass production by 1985, but costs and efficiency lag behind crude oil. Officials say up to 110 million more acres could enter production by 1985 with incentives, though economics remain challenging. Separately, fishing limits around U.S. and Soviet shores may raise Japanese poultry demand, aiding U.S. exports of poultry and feed as consumers shift to chicken over fish.
