Food shipments to Allies and U. S. rise despite shortages
Government figures credit voluntary conservation led by Hoover with shifting wheat and meat to Allied destinations and U.S. forces. In 1917 18 exports totaled about 1.4 billion dollars, with 141 million bushels of wheat and 844 million pounds of meat shipped to Allies and neutrals as the nation faced a food shortage. Hoover notes the heavy lift from increased production, carryover, and imports, while praising American women for their crucial role.
