Nebraska Wheat Outlook Mixed Despite Above Average Conditions
A. E. Anderson reports winter wheat in Nebraska remains above average but prospects are down from earlier expectations. Production forecast is 60,350,000 bushels, up from last year but hindered by nitrate shortages, Hessian fly, late plowing, run-down soil, Septoria, and uneven regional conditions. Corn outlook is bleak due to poor stands and late planting, with May 19 planting half the state and seed corn slow to start.
