Forecast Boost In Wheat Harvest
An Agriculture Department report lifts the 1977 winter wheat harvest forecast by 3 percent to 15.26 billion bushels based on June 1 conditions. If weather stays favorable and spring wheat yields hold, the total US crop could reach about 2 billion bushels, easing price pressure but potentially triggering up to 470 million dollars in government payments under higher target prices. The report also notes a 29 billion pound peach harvest and orange production outlook, while referencing a Civil War battle near Mechanicsville Beaver Creek.
