Wheat Shortage Seen If Drought Persists Says Legge
Washington February 5 Legge chairman of the farm board warned a wheat shortage is entirely possible if drought continues. He noted last year’s carryover at 48 percent of normal and cited drought in the middle west and lack of snowfall in western mountain districts threatening irrigation. Indiana cited as example with central areas in good shape but north and south poor. He said drought’s impact on corn remains uncertain but could affect all grain. Wheat purchases by the stabilization corporation were over ten percent above normal due to open highways allowing winter movement. he expected purchases to ease in coming months.
