Surplus Grain Sales To Drop In 1965 Budget Outlook
Washington reports government sales of surplus feed grains in the 1965 crop year are expected to be smaller than 1964 due to a record production forecast and lower loan rates. Corn loan rate falls to 1.05 per bushel, with 345 million bushels sold domestically this year compared with 113 million last year. Lower prices could boost livestock production, potentially lifting meat prices, while keeping grain prices near support levels to keep growers in the program. Wheat used for feed may further weaken the market as prices ease in some regions.
