Grain embargo may hit South Carolina farmers
South Carolina farmers could lose about 60 million dollars in soybean and corn revenues due to President Carter’s partial grain embargo on the Soviet Union, said Agriculture Commissioner Brian Patrick. The state produced about 40 million bushels each of soybeans and corn in 1979, with soybeans largely routed through Charleston. Prices for soybeans may fall as much as one dollar per bushel, while corn could drop around 50 cents per bushel, adding to the losses.
