Soviets to cut imports amid U.S. grain embargo
A U.S. Agriculture Department analysis says the Soviet Union will reduce total grain imports about 27 percent this year due to Carter's suspension of U.S. grain shipments. The Foreign Agricultural Service notes short term effects include less livestock feeding and lower Soviet grain reserves, with about 19 million metric tons drawn from reserves projected for 1979-80. The embargo covers roughly 17 million tons of corn and wheat previously slated for delivery by Sept 30, 1980.
