CCC Stocks Drop Below Billion Mark
The government investment in uncommitted stocks of common commodities at mid-December 1967 fell below one billion dollars for the first time since 1952, to 964 million, mainly due to CCC cotton sales. Chairman Vernon W. Carter tied the drop to reduced surpluses and expanded price-support loan programs enabling farmers to hold larger grains longer, with extended life for price-support loans on stored crops and feed grains through 1967 crops.
