Kansas farmer turns Vietnam open trade appeal after goodwill wheat gift
Kansas wheat farmer Harvey Schmidt, part of a seven member U.S. delegation to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from May 13 to 27, presented Vietnamese buyers with 10,000 tons of wheat donated by Church World Service. He hopes the trip signals American interest in relations and resumed trade with Vietnam. Schmidt recalled sampling the wheat aboard the Greek ship Antiochia and noted two hail storms back home damaged much of his 500 acres during the trip. Premier Pham Van Dong expressed interest in visiting Schmidt’s Goessel farm, an invitation Schmidt would welcome.
