Reagan reassures farmers on grain embargo burden
Washington Star reports farm leaders met with President Reagan who pledged fair treatment if he keeps the grain embargo or studies its impact before a decision. Mullins of the National Corn Growers Association said the meeting was constructive and noted a shift toward a five year Soviet grain sales pact and summer shipments. Williams of the Cooperative League highlighted farmers’ sacrifices, while Delano of the American Farm Bureau urged patience as budget cuts loom. Black said Cabinet talks will continue before any decision.

Food shortages in Moscow and across USSR hit stores hard
The New York Times notes scarce items in Moscow shops with cabbage potatoes and onions available in the city’s north block store, while meat is scarce and prices at the farmer’s market soar. Western observers cite the US grain embargo as a factor, with some saying it worsened supply while others see only moderate impact amid bad harvests. Zhores Medvedev, now in London, contends the embargo improved conditions by forcing adjustments.
