ASCS directors from Sumner Reno Harper Sedgwick and Ford counties report wheat plantings up 10 to 20 percent above 1973 totals for this fall. Fertilizer shortages could limit yields and affect overall 1974 production despite expanded acreage. Merle Frame notes Sumner County may rise 10 to 20 percent, with unfertilized yields dropping about 10 bushels per acre. Jim Searls and Bob House say top dressing later could offset shortages if fertilizer becomes available.
