Ohio farmers and feed mills expect to use 236 million bushels of wheat this year in farm feed and commercial feeds. Most grain men think 150 million is more realistic as corn and other grains grow cheaper, with rye and corn offering strong feed value despite price gaps. Wheat acreage may drop sharply as farmers shrink winter and spring sowings amid ample supplies and weak foreign markets.
