Grain sales to the USSR reshape exports and prices
Agriculture Secretary Butz says grain shipments to the Soviets affect shipping rates and prices. Negotiations with unions and Russia continue as the U S seeks higher rates to favor American ships and seamen. A proposed 8.5 million metric ton deal may be delayed until boycott and rate decisions are settled. He notes price rises are not tied to grain sales and that U S farmers need the Soviet market for full production. Projections cite a 1.5 percent price rise late 1975 and 8 to 9 percent for 1975 overall.
