Harvest Outlook Could Moderate Food Price Rise
USDA says record crops of corn and soybeans likely this year if favorable weather holds. Larger harvests could ease feed costs for cattle hogs and poultry, potentially slowing grocery price gains and delaying rationing for soybeans and other feeds. Officials warn without bigger grain output, shoppers could face shortages next winter and export limits may recur.

House Votes to Cut Farm Subsidies Amid Protest
Washington action moves to limit subsidies for wheat cotton and feed grains under a 20 000 cap per farmer.

Troop withdrawal in Europe sparks fears of isolationism
United States officials warn that even a token reduction of U S troops in Europe could trigger alarm among NATO allies and signal a drift toward isolationism. Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth Rush says a 1400 troop cut from 310000 would be seen as disengagement, while the administration plans heavier artillery moves to counter congressional calls to cut forces.
