Weather Cuts 11 Million Off Texas Wheat
Dry weather in Texas Plains has cut 11 million bushels from the 1964 winter wheat crop, costing Texas growers about 22 million dollars at the current 2 dollar per bushel price. The decline arose between April 1 and May 1 due to deteriorating High Plains conditions, with one third irrigated and two thirds rain dependent. Production is about 18 bushels per acre, up from 17.5 last year, and irrigated areas remain mostly sound while North Texas benefited from recent rains.
