Wheat Surplus Outlook For 1947 From Wheat Crop Survey
The Agriculture Department tallies 1947 winter wheat prospects and notes 1946 winter wheat output exceeded the 1935-44 average. A potential 1947 surplus depends on exports, with freight car shortages limiting overseas shipments and a government goal of 267 million bushels likely hard to meet. The final report also shows this year’s crop as the largest on record with 1 155 715 000 bushels of wheat and 3 287 927 000 of corn.
