Government raises grain prices to boost supplies
The government posted higher ceilings for corn, wheat, barley, oats, and grain sorghums to encourage farmers to sell grain rather than feed it to livestock. Dairy prices may rise, and meat prices were not expected to change immediately. Officials warned reduced grain feeding could tighten pork, poultry, and beef supplies next winter, with rationing possible if demand stays high. International bodies warned the world food outlook remains critical for years, prompting ongoing aid programs.
