Japan Tries To Boost Its Soybean Crop
Washington AP reports Japan plans a new agricultural policy to raise self sufficiency in grain and soybeans. The goal is limited impact on U S exports, with Japan expanding soybean and soft wheat output while land is scarce. Last year Japan produced about four million bushels of soybeans and imported 126 million from the United States. Fiscal year outlook lifts Japan to become the first single country three billion dollar buyer of U S farm products, up from 2.3 billion in 1972 73.

Washington AP A drop in the 1973 corn crop estimate reduces the October 1 reserve to 626 million bushels, down from 707 million six weeks earlier and over 1.1 billion in 1972. Production for 1973 seen at about 7.0 hundred million bushels with a record but down from October forecasts. Officials say feed grain production and exports will fall, tightening overall feed use and leaving a smaller year‑ahead feed grain reserve.
