Drop In Wheat Acreage Puzzling
Washington AP The fact that winter wheat acreage rose only 2 percent last fall despite the defeat of compulsory controls in May leaves farmers and officials puzzled. Spring wheat acreage likely rises only modestly, raising concerns about meeting domestic and export demand amid foreign orders from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, though any deficit could be filled from surplus.
