Plains Drought May Drive Prices Higher, Roberts Warns
Boston AP The drought sweeping the Midwest high plains could trigger crop losses of up to 50 percent in marginal lands and an overall eight percent drop in U.S. grain output. Grain exports may fall 15 to 20 percent and consumer meat and bread prices could rise. Walter Orr Roberts urged limited grain exports or a two tier pricing to aid starving nations while sparing rich countries, noting the drought spans from the Texas Panhandle to South Dakota and east to 800 miles beyond the Rockies.
