Record corn and wheat crops despite price rise forecast
The Agriculture Department projects a record 5.69 billion bushels of corn and a nearly 2.14 billion bushel wheat harvest for 1975, with a 9 percent rise in food prices expected for the year. The Soviet Union has bought large U.S. grain tons and aims for more, potentially lifting prices through 1976. President Ford notes no more sales to Russia before mid October and urges a long term grain accord.
