Wheat shortages and policy clash critique by critic
The writer argues US wheat crop reduction worsened by government acreage limits and drought. He notes a 640 million bushel US harvest against 145 million below average and world shortfalls raise prices, with imports from Canada taxed at 42 cents per bushel. He cites Bar association plans for an administration court to curb bureaucratic rulemaking and protect citizens from inconsistent agency penalties.
