An ongoing study by the National Planning Association seeks to bring deeper reasoning to these choices.

Russian wheat sale could reshape U S economy say Cargill chief
Erwin E. Kelm of Cargill argues 4 million long tons to the Soviet bloc would lift U S wheat exports, boost dollar earnings by over 250 million, cut the balance of payments gap, and reduce domestic wheat surplus toward a prudent reserve. He notes most export sales have been paid in soft currencies, while this sale would be paid in gold and hard cash. He cautions the government may set a safe reserve level to avoid excess stockpiling.
