USDA notes small rise in food prices amid drought
A USDA economist at the 1988 World Ag Expo in Amana predicted food prices will rise about 1 percent next year due to a 30 percent drop in US grain production. Corn and soybeans fall sharply, but stockpiles and beef pork prices may offset some increases. He urged policy to avoid persistent grain surpluses.
