Soviet Official Faces Four Questions At World Food Conference
An unidentified Chinese observer asked four pointed questions of Dr. Vladlen A. Martynov the only Soviet official at the World Food conference on the Iowa State campus. Questions covered debt moratorium grain sales to the United States and possible profits from 1972 deals with the United States. Martynov answered yes to two questions and no to the accusation of profit, citing crop failures in 1972 and 1975 and predicting 5 to 8 million tons of feed grains from the U.S. over five years.

USDA forecasts in a late June 1977 report that if total egg production in the first half of 1977 matches 1976 levels, wholesale prices may average about 4 cents per dozen higher than the current 60 cents. The shift reflects stronger demand from a revived economy and more eggs used for breaking and hatching.
