Wheat crop prospects dip in western regions in 1956
Crop appraisals show June 1 1955 levels exceeded only in southern central and western areas with western states posting the lowest prospects since 1939. The all crop appraisal suggests many farmers may use 1956 soil bank payments for crops damaged by drought blight or other causes or plow up immature crops. The 1956 all wheat crop is seen near 923 million bushels the smallest since 1943 yet still above domestic and export needs by about 33 million bushels, adding to a surplus above 1 billion bushels. The June 1 winter wheat condition implies a crop above 670 million bushels, down 11 million from the prior estimate.
