McDERMOTT -- VILLAGE PRESIDENT RICHARD J. HYATT -- VILLAGE CLERK HH WHEAT PROVES $IG AGRICULTURAL PROBLEM IN U.S. Old Man Congress has a "bear the tail" -- wheat! but his grip is slipping. And he is trying to find a safe way to let SO -- or to get a tighter grirffc Congress is considering half a dozen bills. These bills have various and conflicting goals such as (1) getting more >money for wheat growers. (2) ^edudrtg costs to government, and (3) reducing international irritations caused by our surplus disposal programs. Wheat is, perhaps, our biggestygricultural problem. Congi^* and the public, including many farmers, are concerned about the costs of the present wheat {»rice programs. Many growers are dissatisfied with prices, or their acreage allotments -- or both. The problem is too big for a full discussion here, but we can list sorhe of the basic facts about the markets for our whe^ Any wheat program will Have to deal with these f&cts. PRODUCTION. Over t h e five y^ars ending next June 30, our average annual production of wheat was 1,096 million bushels. This provided 99 percent of our supply. The other one percent, about 9 million bushels a year, was imported from Canada. This was mostly low^J/ade feed wheat. USED FOR FOOD -- 44 PERCENT. The avearge annual use of wheat for food in the United States in the fiveyifear period was 486 million bushels, or 44 percent of the production. For many years the annual use of wheat for food has held very close to this figure. The increase in population has befln offset by decreasing use.bf bread and other foods majle from wheat. If consumers vipre willing,, Congress could establish higher prices for wtyeat used for food in this country. This would not materially reduce the domestic use of wleat for food. But U. S. consumers already pay about 50 ceijts a bushel more than foreign buyers. Costs of any further increases would fall heaviest on the lower-income families, because they spend a largpr share of their incomes for bread. FOR SEEI> -- 6 PERCENT. An average of 64 million bushels was used each year for seed, 6 perceht of production. The amount used for seed varies a little froim time . to time, dependii^ upon the acreage planted. FOR FEED! -- 5 PERCENT. The average jannual use of wheat for fee# was 54 million bushels, or 5 \ percent of production. The amount used for feed ranged torn 39 million bushels in 1957-58 to 73 million in 1958-59. TTie amount used depends upon jthe quality of >vheat and local crop conditions. R e 1 a t i v e 1 y larger amounts of wheat were used for feed before the government priced it out of the market. Raising prices of feed would reduce consumption still further, since many other feeds are available to feed manufacturers and to farmers. FOR EXPORT -- 40 PERCENT. Average annual exports of wheat during these latest five years were 442 million bushels, or 40 percent of production. India is by far the biggest buyer. Eight other countries each took 10 million to 40 million bushels, and 30 countries took 1 million to 10 million bushels each. About onethird of these export sales were made at prices 50 to 60 cents a bushel less than U. S. market prices, and tvW>-thir<Js were disposals under P. L. 480 "foreign aid" programs. Congress has no way of forcing foreign nations to pay more for our wheat. They Can buy from other exporters -- C a n a d a, Russia. Argentina, Australia, France, Italy, Turkey, and other exporting countries.
