Wheat carryover to dip slightly under 600 million bushels
The 30 June wheat carryover will fall below 600 million bushels for the first time in 13 years, nearing one year’s domestic food and seed supply. The 1967 crop is estimated at 1.4 billion bushels, with President Johnson proposing a 15 percent acreage increase to 1967 wheat plantings to add about 7.7 million acres and 200 million bushels, boosting farm income and world food reserves while keeping consumer prices stable. The surplus, averaging 10 to 20 cents above $1.25 federal support, will be exported at world prices to aid foreign needs without burdening U.S. consumers.
