Wheat harvest forecast boosts wheat surplus hopes
Washington officials forecast a 3 percent rise in the 1977 winter wheat harvest to 1.526 billion bushels based on June 1 conditions. Improved moisture kept the crop 3 percent below last year, while an 1.1 billion bushel old-wheat stockpile remains. If weather stays favorable, total U.S. wheat could approach 2.1 billion bushels, near a record.

Prospects improve for crop prices near target in 1977 plan
Economists say prices may stay near the $2.47-a-bushel target that triggers government payments to cover the gap to the market average. If July-October averages around $2.40, payments could reach about $130 million, with House leaders seeking a higher target of $2.65 to push payments above $470 million. Senate bill mirrors a $2.0 target, but Carter would veto. The winter wheat forecast coincides with news the Soviet Union may harvest a near record 215 million tons, depressing U.S. price prospects. Peach harvest expected at 2.9 billion pounds, down 3 percent from last year. orange production forecast at 250.6 million boxes, up 3 percent from last year. Frozen concentrated orange juice output will fall due to juice losses from January Florida freeze damage.
