Control Of Scarce Grain Exports Urged By Officials
Washington reports a wet cool spring has slowed planting of corn oats and barley and delayed soybeans raising concerns about food fats. Officials say Congress should extend the wartime authority to curb exports to prevent foreign buying from depleting U.S. supplies and pushing meat milk eggs and butter prices higher. If extended, allocation plans could shield shortages areas by directing scarce grain shipments while a record winter wheat crop allows more exports. Greece also faces drought reducing its 1847 grain crop below minimum needs.
