Soviet cancels corn order in wake of harvest gains
The United States Agriculture Department reports the Soviet Union canceled a 400000 metric ton U S corn order after a bumper harvest and offsets it by buying 300000 tons more wheat. The five year pact requires a minimum six million tons of corn and wheat annually, with a possible eight million tons and further talks if exceeding that cap. In the first year deliveries total about 6.5 million tons, down 0.1 million from prior estimates, with about 2.92 million tons wheat and 3.55 million tons corn.
