Winter Wheat Reports Warn of Heavy Losses and Low Yields
The Agriculture Department reports over one fifth of fall planted wheat killed by drought and cold, making this the worst winter kill since 1917 apart from that year. Remaining wheat is forecast to yield about 13.6 bushels per acre, totaling around 445 million bushels, the smallest since 1917. Rye also stalled by bad weather, and prospects for winter grains are poor in the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Ohio. Spring crops look brighter as mild weather aids farm work with higher plowing and planting rates, though some Southwest regions remain moisture deficient.
