Opponents led by Sen. David Durenberger challenge the plan, warning of two class mail and high conversion costs while predictions of future three digit routing loom.

Grain sales were halted and non agricultural deals blocked, with potential future losses estimated around 1 billion. Weather and trade shifts may lessen U S grain sales to Moscow.
