Government Bid to Sell Grain Abroad to Reduce Surpluses
Washington government announced a bid to broaden export markets for live stock feed grains to trim a 64 billion dollar farm surplus. Corn barley oats and rye from government stocks would be sold to private exporters at 10 to 15 cents a bushel below domestic prices to help exporters compete with foreign grain. No country limitations were set. Mexico could buy substantial corn while earlier programs included wheat butter cheese dried milk and flaxseed on a cut rate.
