Carter on wheat for oil slogan not workable policy
President Carter at a Communications Workers of America event dismissed the idea of swapping a barrel of oil for a bushel of wheat. He noted Mexico and Persian Gulf nations would not accept such terms and warned oil producers could source wheat elsewhere. He argued OPEC has small populations and warned of farmer protests if wheat shipments were embargoed.

Dr. Donald Chafin of Wilmington College warns against using food exports as a weapon against OPEC, arguing it would backfire on U.S. farmers and raise prices for American consumers. He notes a quarter of U.S. food is sold abroad, and wheat’s substitutes differ from oil, making price tampering risky. He urges gradual policy steps under President Carter.
