Surplus Crops Fill Farm Bins Amid Harvest Surplus
Washington December 5 The nation observes Thanksgiving with a focus on blessings and prayer but also rails at over production. Government estimates show wheat 884 million bushels and corn 2.7 billion bushels produced, with beets, potatoes, pork and milk up markedly from last year. Prices for staples are lower, bread at 7.4 cents a pound and beef at 20 cents, easing burden for many families despite surplus.
