Bread War Stirs Over Wheat Supplies and Prices
Agriculture Secretary Butz rejects bread shortage claims as bakers rally on Capitol Hill. Senate critic Jackson accuses USDA of arrogance while wheat growers say ample midwest stock exists if transport improves. USDA sticks to 1.2 billion bushels exports for year ending June 30 amid baker forecasts of shortages and higher loaf costs driven by nonwheat and labor costs.

Cattlemen Plan NYC Beef Sale to Prove Markup Claims
Iowa cattle feeders say high feed costs and middlemen profits push prices up for consumers. They plan a New York demonstration selling beef at about 15 percent below supermarket levels, trucking Iowa carcasses at cost plus a 25 per carcass markup. Leaders warn of tailgate sales if plan proceeds and weigh possible antitrust actions against meat packers and chains. Glenn Gregg of the Sioux County Cattlemen, and Clarence G. Adams of the National Association of Food Chains, clash over retail profit critiques while Butz notes beef prices rose to a record high even as cattle prices slipped.

Revised Farm Figures Show Less Profit
New figures by the Agriculture Department show farmers netted 22.1 billion dollars less during the past decade than previously computed by government economists. Revisions go back to 1959 and reflect broader farm expenses and income sources including custom work, machine hire, recreational services, record-keeping costs, legal fees, advertising, and farm organization dues. The 1972 figures remain record highs at 17.6 billion after revisions, with 1971 at 13 billion and 1974’s early totals adjusting from earlier reports.
