Nile Basin Cropland to Expand in Sudan and UAR
A U.S. Department of Agriculture ERS report predicts three million acres of new Nile basin cropland could boost domestic food output but likely be used for exports. The UAR may crop for food while facing wheat shortages. Sudan may grow feed grains and compete with the U.S. for Western Europe buyers. Oilseeds citrus and vegetables exports could also shift.

Wheat Surpluses May Bulge Next Year
USDA reports in Washington indicate U.S. wheat surpluses could rise by up to 200 million bushels by mid-1969. Current marketing year exports may fall short of prior goals, with total usage potentially staying well below the 1968 record of 1.6 billion bushels. Carryover could reach 737 million bushels, the largest since 1964, as export trade improves and farmers draw on price support loans.

Lake Urges Subsidies to Boost Butter Plant Output
Glenn Lake, president of the National Milk Producers Federation, urged federal subsidies for butter manufacturing plants to spur consumption. Speaking at the federation’s 52nd annual meeting, he argued price supports for nonfat dry milk would push butter into balance in the market as butterfat in whole milk declines due to shifts to skim and low fat milks. He warned the dairy industry must unite to support dairy cows amid new low fat products. The meeting runs through Wednesday with panels on economics and law. Sen. Howard Baker Jr., Sen. J Caleb Boggs, and Rep. Melvin R. Laid will speak Tuesday.

Illinois Corn Yields and Carryover Outlook
University of Illinois economist L H Simers notes disappointing corn yields in Illinois and a large carryover of old corn. He cites USDA estimates of 1.146 billion bushels carryover, more than 400 million in “free” corn not under price support, and forecasts a 1968 crop around 4.5 billion bushels with higher domestic use and exports. Price support loans may deter, raising next summer's market supply.
