Bungling claimed in grain deal
Comptroller General Elmer Staats charged the Agriculture Department bungled last year’s grain sale to Russia. He said Russians paid bargain prices at taxpayers’ expense. Justice found no criminal wrongdoing by officials or firms. Staats noted weak market analysis and subsidies that kept prices low, harming farmers and delaying timely information to growers. He urged direct, accurate farmer news rather than mass media.
