Foreign Market Problems Hit American Farmers
Washington June 10 A weakened foreign outlet presses American farmers as a new crop season begins with potential overproduction domestic needs. The Agriculture Department says exports for the first ten months of the fiscal year fell 21 percent in value to 612.8 million dollars from 777.3 million a year earlier, led by a 44 percent drop in cotton value and 39 percent in volume. Factors include Europe and Orient uncertainty, sharper global competition, and high U.S. prices due to price pegging loans.
