Grain To USSR Export Push Opens New Farm Era
U S government officials announce first shipments of surplus grain to the Soviet Union via a new export pipeline financed by the Commodity Credit Corp. The $750 million sale over three years targets wheat and feed grain, with private traders handling the deals and possible broader exports to China. Job gains tied to export increases are projected, while a record domestic crop supports ample carryover and export potential.
