Wheat acreage debate shadows wheat and bread prices
Washington reports dwindling meat supplies and a rush to gauge wheat stocks and price impacts.

A separate bill advances in the House to expand school lunch and milk programs, proposing 3.545 million dollars in new funding over four years for child nutrition.
