Nixon farm export limit proposal gains cautious support
Iowa farm leaders split on President Nixon's plan to limit exports to curb soybean prices. Freese and Thatcher urge careful, temporary action to protect livestock costs and long term export interests, while Wisner notes shifting market pressures and rising soybean prices. Grain traders expect cautious bidding as policymakers weigh export controls.

Co-ops May Take Over Farm Commodity Loans Plan
Washington officials floated a plan letting grain cooperatives pool member deliveries, take price support loans from USDA, and then apportion funds to producers. Co-ops would act as sales agents to seek top prices for wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye, sorghum and flaxseed, with comments due by June 28. Critics fear market manipulation by large co-ops, while proponents say central marketing expertise could improve efficiency.

Watchdog unit may hire 20 more at Commodity Exchange Authority
The Commodity Exchange Authority could gain at least 20 new employees to probe market manipulation complaints if the appropriations bill passes. Administrator Alex C Caldwell said no decision had been made to hire that many and noted it must be cleared by the department. The agency, with 120 full-time staff and 13 requested positions costing about 234,000 yearly, faced criticism for understaffing while the House report urged expansion to improve operations. The committee cited recent criticism of the agency and stressed vital operation standards. The CEA had recently investigated traders at the Kansas City Board of Trade amid concerns over wheat futures and subsidies linked to Soviet grain sales.
