Wheat Exports Would Not Diminish Large U.S. Supplies
The potential sale of 100 to 125 million tons of wheat to Soviet bloc nations would barely dent America's ample stocks. U.S. government wheat reserves and this year's crop could feed domestic needs for about four years, with 18 to 20 months’ demand covered by current supplies. Hungary and other Communist nations show interest, while U.S. grain firms seek export licenses amid a vast surplus. The government views the stock as a reserve to guard against crop failures rather than a surplus to be exhausted.
