U S Wheat Sales to Russia Confirmed amid High Stakes
The Soviet Union agreed to buy 3.2 million metric tons of U.S. wheat from Cook Industries of Memphis and Cargill of Minneapolis for about 117 million bushels. Cook will supply 2 million tons and Cargill 1.2 million, with some shipments possible from outside the United States. The deal, announced after talks in Moscow, covers shipments starting soon and continuing for 12 months, and involves no government subsidies. The Agriculture Department notes the 1975 wheat crop stands at 59.5 million metric tons, and this sale would comprise roughly 18 percent of the net crop increase.
