Reagan predicts record Soviet grain sales this year
The Reagan administration offered Moscow 23 million metric tons of wheat and corn and expects Kremlin purchases to reach at least 18 million tons. At $150 to $170 per ton, values could total $2.7 to $3.06 billion in the year ending Sept. 30, 1982, though analysts doubt this boosts farm prices immediately. The embargo on grain sales, imposed by Carter, was lifted by Reagan after 16 months.

Agriculture Department raised dairy subsidies 3 percent costing the government an extra 1 million daily while the House voted 328 to 58 to roll back the increase. Milk support rose to 13.49 per hundred pounds, prompting CCC purchases and potential higher consumer prices until a new farm bill is enacted. Senate action awaited.
