Set-aside programs urged to lift grain prices this year
Des Moines AP Howard Hjort, head of USDA economics, urged wide farmer participation in reserve and set-aside programs to curb supply and lift prices. He warned low participation plus favorable weather could push prices down. 30-40 percent corn, 66-75 percent sorghum, and over 75 percent wheat participation could yield needed reductions. He noted weather remains the dominant factor and the outlook is cautiously optimistic.
