Farm Exports Hit Record Highs In Fiscal 1980
Jim Sam Gillespie Jr of the County ASC Committee notes feed grain exports reached 71.2 million tons in FY 1980, corn 61.7 million, wheat 36.1 million, and total U.S. agricultural exports climbed to 40.5 billion dollars, a record surge driven by rising world demand and trade policies. The USDA projects FY 1981 exports near 48.5 billion with price levels higher for corn sorghum and soybeans, and cotton expected to fall due to reduced US production.
