US hog-poultry group to import European wheat

A group of US hog and poultry producers, Wilmington Bulk LLC,
said Tuesday it planned to import 100,000 tons of wheat, ignoring
recent criticism from local farm groups for buying cheaper feed
from Brazil, Reuters reported. Jimmy Kissner, president of the
North Carolina group, said he preferred wheat from the UK but did
not rule out supplies from France, a key rival to the US in the
global wheat export market. Six hog and poultry producers
comprise the consortium, including hog and turkey producer
Murphy Brown, part of Smithfield Foods Inc. On Wednesday
Louis Dreyfus was reported to be seeking a ship to move 22,500
tons of wheat to the US East Coast for November dates. Dreyfus
earlier shipped two cargoes of feed wheat to the US -- the first ever
such sale from the UK. Follow the latest global ag news in Ag
