PIK Affects U S Exports as Grain Idling Spurs Competition
Darwin Stolte, president of the U S Feed Grains Council, warned at the Wisconsin Feed Seed and Farm Supply Association convention that the PIK program’s idling of 82 million acres may rival the 1980 Soviet grain embargo as a major threat to America’s world market share. He urged consistent policies and a unified farm sector voice to secure exports amid a strong dollar, export interventions, and emphasis on domestic sales, calling for steadier actions to supply industrial nations like Japan, Taiwan, and China.
