Drought and heat shrank the 1983 crops to 4.39 billion bushels of corn and 1.54 billion of soybeans, prompting expectations of high trading prices while forecasts suggest moderation later in winter.

Appeals court upholds 50 cent milk production fee
A federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, on Monday upheld the 50 cent per 100 pounds fee on milk production, first announced by Agriculture Secretary John R. Block in 1982 to curb output and support price programs. The ruling reverses a South Carolina judge’s injunction, noting Congress authorized the deduction to reduce surpluses and storage costs while acknowledging possible impacts on producers.
