Record Crop Seen Would Slow Food Price Increases
The Agriculture Department forecasts a record 1975 harvest of about six billion bushels of corn and nearly 2.2 billion bushels of wheat, suggesting food prices could rise only 6 to 8 percent in 1975. A Soviet purchase of U.S. grain could alter meat and dairy costs if feeding plans shift, but overall price gains should ease into 1976. Don Paarlberg cautions a potential meat supply dip if animals are fattened before slaughter.
