U S Victim of EEC Decision On Grain Price
Washington AP reports higher Common Market prices on livestock feed grains push European manufacturers to cut mixed feed. The Netherlands’ feed industry plans to drop from 45 percent to about 40 percent this year, potentially cutting US corn and sorghum by up to 500,000 tons. France’s soft wheat for feed lowers Dutch costs, shifting to substitutes and raising imports of byproducts and protein supplements.
