The Agriculture Department said farmers are expected to harvest an estimated 8.32 billion bushels this fall, second only to last year’s record production. The huge harvest, down only 6% from last year’s 8.87 billion bushels, will help dampen food price increases at least through the first half of 1987 by providing abundant, lower-cost feed for livestock.
