Economist Sees Grain Quality Market Problems
An Iowa State University extension economist warned that Iowa furthers may face quality problems marketing the 1972 corn and soybean crops. He noted most crops will be good to excellent, but some regions will yield low quality grain due to flood damage in the southwest and frost in northern areas. Early harvest reports suggest isolated weather damage to corn, with damaged grain better suited for livestock feed than export markets. County Farm Bureaus are urged to promote the booklet detailing management and pricing impacts for damaged grain.

Argentina crop calamity boosts US feed grain outlook
A Foreign Agricultural Service report says Argentina’s 1972 73 exports will plummet about 70 percent due to natural calamities. The drop lifts US feed grain value on the world market while US corn and sorghum exports are projected near 2.5 million and 0.5 million tons respectively. The United States, now a leading exporter, is poised to benefit as Argentina’s supplies tighten and US production forecasts rise to record or near record levels.
