Five Crops Show Increase In Michigan Harvest
Michigan Crop Reporting Service forecasts five of ten major field crops will rise from last year. Soybeans sugarbeets hay oats and barley are expected to increase while grain corn dry beans summer potatoes rye and wheat are projected to fall. Winter wheat is seen at 20 520 000 bushels down four percent from 1972 with wet soils limiting yields and higher harvested acreage not fully offsetting the yield drop. Corn for grain is forecast at 132 million bushels eight percent below 1972 due to reduced acres and lower yield per acre with late planting risking frost.
