Harvest Outlook Dims as Frost Hits Midwestern Soybeans
The USDA notes frosts on September 21 and 29 halted soybean development in the Midwest, heightening fears of a smaller harvest. A revised 1974 harvest report isn’t due until October 10, reflecting conditions on October 1. Late spring planting and summer drought already cut prospects from earlier projections. Officials expect 1974 retail food prices to run 15 to 17 percent higher than last year’s 14.5 percent.
