Wheat surplus seen slowing with 1956 outlook
The Agriculture Department in its 1956 Wheat Situation outlook predicts the July 1 1956 marketing year will see a material slow in wheat surplus growth and possibly a level off by 1957. Production may drop to about 860 million bushels in 1956, with carryover projected at 1.055 billion bushels. The department also cuts 1956 price supports to 1.81 per bushel and discounts 20 cents for 23 inferior varieties to steer planting toward better milling wheat.
