World wheat and feed grain outlook 1954-55 carries uncertainty
Global 1954-55 wheat production is about 6.8 billion bushels, six percent below 1953-54. Exportable stocks among major exporters are slightly higher, but Canadian output slumped under 300 million bushels with low milling grades yet strong flour baking quality.
