Corn Blight Threat Forces Nixon Aides to Gauge Crop Outlook
Washington AP The corn blight threat weighs on Nixon administration farm officials as they weigh potential aid needs if the blight explodes in the Corn Belt versus the possibility of record production this year possibly reaching five billion bushels. Officials project feed grains supply for 1970-71 at 208 million tons, down 7 million from a year earlier, with corn stocks at 3.74 billion bushels and a planted area of 74.7 million acres. Sorghum and barley trends show weaker 1969-70 performance but expected rebound in 1971, with carryovers and acreage data shaping 1971-72 forecasts and marketing year projections.
