Wheat prices averaged 1.73 dollars per bushel mid-month, the highest September level since 1963, up 22 cents from August and 41 cents above July. The surge follows a 400 million bushel sale to the Soviet Union and a forecast of a billion bushels exported by next summer, amid price support program changes and mixed farm price movements.

Potato Marketing Study Urges Supply Management Talks
A Washington AP report says a marketing study on potato problems proposes that the Agriculture Department consult with industry representatives to discuss supply management programs to stabilize prices and supply. Secretary Earl L. Butz had marketing teams study the issue and propose recommendations. The report also calls for development of potato varieties with more protein and less starch and criticizes inefficiencies in marketing channels that cut grower profits and raise consumer costs.
