Temporary Halt Requested In Grain Deals With Soviets
The Ford administration asks American grain traders to pause negotiations with the Soviet Union for at least a month due to a weaker U.S. harvest outlook. Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz cites long unloading times for already sold grain and emphasizes preserving livestock feed supplies while awaiting resumed talks. He notes potential price effects are limited and expects further sales with better spacing. The Crop Reporting Board projects a record corn crop but Iowa and Nebraska dispute early estimates, while the soybean and wheat crops rise significantly.
