Tangible effects of the embargo were negligible, with the Soviet Union simply acquiring grain from alternative sources in South America and Europe. It is widely asserted that commodity prices dropped following the embargo, contributing to a severe farm crisis. However, analysis of actual market data at the time contradict this assertion: wheat and corn grain prices, the dominant export crops, actually rose during all of the months of the embargo and only fell after President Reagan lifted the embargo."@en }
