Estimates
Reported
Feed Grain Export
Carryover stocks of feed
grains from the 1973-74 year
totaled 22 million tons,
nearly 2 million above our
estimate of last-month but 10
million less than last year
and the lowest since 1952.
The October 1 corn
carryover was 481 million
bushels, down a third from a
year ago. the sorghum grain
carryover of 62 million
bushels was 11 million below
a year ago. Projections of
U.S. feed grain exports in
1974-75 have been raised
primarily because of in
creasing foreign exports are
placed at 30 to 32 million
short tons, up from our last
forecast of 25-31 million.
Com exports are put at 875
925 million bushels,
pared with the previous
estimate of 750 to 900 million.
Projected sorghum exports
were raised from 100-150 to
140-160 million bushels.

exports more than offsets the
slightly larger than an
ticipated carrying from 1973-
74, narrowing the range of
prospective domestic use
from 145-150 million short
tons to 146-147 million tons.
Wheat Feeding Declines
All wheat in storage in the
United States on October 1,
1974, totaled 1,546 million
bushels, up 6 percent from a
year ago. Disappearance
from all storage positions
during July-September was
indicated at about 485 million
bushels. This implies a
relatively low level of
domestic wheat feeding
occurred during July-
September.
we have reduced
projection of wheat feeding
for the marketing year by 75
million bushels. We have
increased the export
forecast by 50 million
bushels because of increased _
demand in some countries i Yrkgxn H/llf c£>
and further deterioration of 111/Wot/
crop prospects in some other open House will be held
exporting countries. This Hinkletown Alter
