Grains Start 1957 Higher

Wheat and corn gained, oats lagged, and soybeans surged on expectations of expanded foreign aid and cash demand. Export hopes from West Germany and dry Southwest conditions supported gains. Also noted is plans for a large motorcycle factory in Czechoslovakia under its second five year plan.
