Wheat Consumption Edges Toward New Limits
The Food Administration considers further limits on wheat use to bridge the subnormal U S supply until the next harvest. A Department of Agriculture report shows 30 percent of normal flour stocks and 125 to 180 million bushels may be available, with hoarding feared as a major risk. Regions like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri show reduced holdings, while export plans push 90 million bushels to allies before the new crop. The South may face six-pound monthly ration experiments if grain flow remains tight.
