Protests by U S farm groups led Cargill Inc to cancel its plan to import 25000 tons of Argentine wheat, the first such shipment for a U S trader. Whitney Macmillan cited strong public reaction as key to the reversal. The episode drew calls for congressional probes and heated debate on farm policy and price supports.
