Wheat carryover to dip below 600 million bushels in June

The June 30 wheat carryover will fall slightly under 600 million bushels, the level needed for a year’s domestic food and seed supply. The 1966 harvest is estimated at 1.4 billion bushels, with President Johnson proposing a 15 percent rise in 1967 wheat plantings to add 7.7 million acres and 200 million bushels to the crop. Wheat prices in markets exceed the federal support of 1.25 by 10 to 20 cents, and the increased acreage could bring $100 million to $150 million in farmers’ income while providing global food relief and exportable surplus at world prices.
