Soviet grain forecast trimmed as imports may rise
Agriculture Department officials project 1975 Soviet grain production at about 200 million tons, 10 million below earlier forecasts, with possible June rainfall further shrinking yields. If met, imports could rise to 10 million tons, up 3 million from current estimates, while wheat output remains 95 million tons. A farm survey suggests U S feed grain production may exceed expectations in 1975, with corn planted area and soybeans rising and changes in spring wheat and sorghum plans. Separately, Iowa lawmakers approve fines for nursing homes failing to meet health standards, raising penalties up to 5000 dollars and treble penalties for repeat violators.
