Dock Strike Dampens Spirits as Grain Prices Ease
The Atlantic and Gulf port dock strike began December 20, likely depressing corn and soybean prices. Foreign buyers stocked up earlier, while exports fell in Oct-Nov 1968 to 94 million bushels, 19 percent below two years prior. Domestic animal production rises hint at higher corn use. Farmers loaned 180 million bushels in late 1968, 7 percent below the prior year, keeping prices near loan levels.
