Rain Too Late to Lift Corn as Soybeans Benefit
Rains across the Midwest may aid soybeans but are too late for corn. USDA notes show July rain failed to boost corn yields significantly, while soybeans improve. Government projects higher food costs in 1974, with Europe reducing U.S. corn purchases to protect its own supplies.
