UPI reports that a blighted U S corn crop reduces income and raises costs for farmers, risking lower exports. The government pegged reserves at 4104 million bushels, down 15 percent from July, with 1969 output at 4578 million. European buyers and Britain seek substitutes like wheat and barley as importers face higher feed costs and policy shifts inside the EEC.
