Wheat And Flour Trade Sets Record Worldwide
The Agriculture Department reports world wheat and flour trade for the year ending June 30 at about 1.518 billion bushels, up 14 percent from 1959-60. U.S. exports rose to 662 million bushels, with expectations near 675 million, about half of the 1960 wheat crop. Radioactive iodine 131 is noted as a food hazard after a nuclear attack, but mitigations include storing forage and milk to decay radioactivity. U.S. tobacco exports for eight months in 1961 rose 7.2 percent, led by flue cured gains, while Kentucky and Tennessee burley declined slightly. Soybean crush for 1960-61 is projected at a record 405 million bushels with 1961-62 also expected to set records due to high domestic use, soybean meal feeding, and oil exports.
