Drought Bites Corn, Raises Meat Prices by Next Year
The Agriculture Department reports the Midwest drought cuts corn production and raises future meat costs. Corn harvest may be 5 billion bushels, down 12% from last year and 25% from projections, with soybeans and feed grains also down. Wheat output tops a record at 1.8 billion. Experts warn upward price pressure on food, while some expect later fall beef and pork prices to ease. Export volumes and Congressional hearings on controls loom as officials caution against panic.
