Record Wheat Crop in Sight
Washington reports a history making U S winter wheat crop of 1 025 000 000 bushels predicted by the agriculture department, with a possible spring crop of 265 000 000 bushels, totaling 1 290 000 000 bushels the largest on record and likely to meet export demand as Europe faces poor crops. The department notes a backward spring season delays crops like oats, spring wheat, and corn, but expects farmers to catch up when weather improves. If May weather holds, farmers may shift to corn and other crops, potentially increasing total production.
