USDA Mission Expanded Amid Budget Pressures
Karen Darling of USDA Marketing and Inspection Services says the agency’s core mission is protecting the nation’s food supply from insects and disease as budgets shift toward food stamps. She notes increased public involvement, leaner meat and poultry inspection, and a drive to cut paperwork with more user fees and a fulltime agricultural desk in the State Department.

Agriculture Almost Ignored In East MANIATTAN
Christopher Ogden, Time Magazine Midwest bureau chief, told Kansas agricultural media that agriculture is taken for granted in the East and by Western media. He said editors in New York show little interest unless markets or politics are involved and few large outlets have full-time ag reporters. Urban readers view farms as backyard affairs.

World trade insights by Seeley Lodwick at seminar
Seeley Lodwick, under secretary of Agriculture, told agricultural media via telephone news conference that global exports improved last year but prices lagged. Wheat and soybean trade hit new highs while corn dipped, with slow growth expected into the late 1980s. He hoped for rationalized European and Japanese trade, noted Soviet wheat crops, and criticized editors’ grasp of farm issues.
