Estimate of Corn Acreage Slightly Below Govt Goal
Washington The Agriculture Department reported farmers expect to plant 84 809 000 acres to corn this year. That is 16 percent below last year’s record harvest. Planting was 81 96 000 acres last year. If yields stay normal, the corn crop may reach about 2 800 000 000 bushels, below last year’s 3 650 548 000 and near the 10 year average. Farmers plan a record wheat acreage and total plantings would top government goals if conditions stay favorable. The department estimated total crop plantings at 361 000 000 acres, down 1 600 000 from last year but higher than any peacetime level since 1937.
