...made farmers anxious to sell their surplus abroad. A delegation from the U.S. Agriculture Department travels to Moscov this week with an offer to sell the Soviets 10 million more tons of grain. The U.S has already sold 8.8 million tons of grain since the Carter Administration's partial embargo was lifted in April...

Angry at Washington for having imposed the sales ban after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Moscow has bought only 1.5 million metric tons of the 6 million tons that the U.S. offered last June. Instead, the Soviets have contracted to purchase 47.5 million tons over the next five years from Argentina* and Canada...
