Available Wheat To Feed Livestock In Washington
Washington Feb 7 A rush by farmers to buy government wheat for livestock feed may exhaust supplies next month and prompts talk of authorizing additional sales. The government holds about 500 million bushels, with 80 million already sold, while a limit may cap feed sales at 125 million bushels for the year ending June 30. Some lawmakers oppose feed sales arguing wheat is a bread grain, but officials say feed access is vital to the war food program and price stability. Wheat for feed is offered at about 85 percent of the parity price of corn.
