New five year grain pact eyed by United States and Soviet Union
The Agriculture Department discusses a five year grain agreement likely to run Oct 1 to June 30 with the next talks to finalize terms. US negotiators seek to raise minimum annual purchases to about 11 million tons while Moscow aims for around 8.8 million, maintaining U S export channels and constraining Soviet purchases. The deal would require Moscow to obtain US permission for buys above set limits and aims to stabilize grain trade amidst Soviet agricultural struggles.
