Government payments could widen gaps for large farms
A UPI report notes that big farmers earn higher returns on equity than small operators. If future supports use average costs or earnings across all farms, larger producers would gain more. Hottel and Reinsel cite 1970 census data showing returns rise with farm size, while small farms may see negative or near zero gains.

Brezhnev Declares 1976 Soviet Grain Harvest Strong
Brezhnev announced a successful grain harvest in 1976 during a Alma Ata speech, noting much of the crop was gathered despite heavy rains. Western experts expect better supply to ease Soviet foreign currency strain and potentially lower U.S. bread prices. USDA projections place final output around 195 million tons, with current purchases under an agreement at about 6 million tons yearly.
