Bergland credits Carter grain deal with China over politics
Agriculture Secretary Bergland touted the U S China grain trade pact as proof of Carter farm policy strength, noting it aims to buy 6 to 9 million tons of wheat and corn annually for four years. He argued timing was not political and cited China’s fear of a Reagan shift on Taiwan as a factor. The deal, signed in Peking and effective Jan 1, seeks market stability without higher U S bread prices and underscores ongoing but irregular China trade.
