Wheat Crop Forecast and Acreage Shifts in Pennsylvania
The State Department of Agriculture projects a Pennsylvania wheat crop of 21,000,000 bushels, down from 1916. June 1 conditions stand at 86 percent of the ten year average. About 20,000 acres planted last fall were plowed under due to damaged stalks, while 22,000 more acres were added to wheat compared with 1916, with a expected rise in buckwheat. Cold May and June limit peach prospects, though yield may exceed last year.
