Smallest 1970 U.S. corn crop predicted due to blight
The Agriculture Department cut its 1970 corn estimate to 4.185 billion bushels, the smallest since 1966, as corn leaf blight spreads from Southern fields across the Midwest and West. Weather in harvest could further affect final output, with 9 percent below last year’s 4.578 billion bushels.

The study urges substantial increases in planting for 1971-72 to meet domestic crush and export needs.
