Big Wheat Sale and the Cost of Soviet Deals
The GAO links a massive 1970s wheat sale to the Soviet Union to higher U.S. consumer prices. It notes 440 million bushels boosted domestic wheat prices and raised costs for bread, beef, pork, poultry, eggs, and dairy. The report assigns primary blame to the Agriculture Department for underestimating purchases and mismanaging subsidies, while urging scrutiny of large future deals.
