President Ford met with Newspaper Farm Editors of America after their annual meeting and discussed farm policy. He highlighted farming's outsized impact, noted Iowa Governor Ray’s platform influence, and contrasted his stance with Reagan's, warning against using export crops as foreign policy leverage. He praised Earl Butz but avoided a direct reply on his future. The food stamp budget fight and potential deficits through October prompt regulatory changes and possible court challenges. Humphrey urged funding to cover the shortfall.

Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz said he would welcome more Soviet purchases of U S grain and forecast food inflation at 3 to 4 percent this year if crops average. He cited ample farm supplies and lower grain prices as drivers and noted Russia recently ordered 4.3 million metric tons of wheat and corn, raising 1975 crop sales to 16.2 million tons with 1.9 million tons from the 1976 crop under a five year deal. He called a higher purchase unlikely but left room for more beyond 17 million tons.
