Mexican Market for American Wheat
Consul Victor L. Duharme notes Coahuila ranks third in Mexican wheat production. In his district the crop totals about 1,000,000 bushels, yields run 10 to 16 bushels per acre, and winter red wheat is sown in October with harvest May or June. Prices range 2.50 to 3 pesos per bushel, about one third irrigated, workers paid 0.76 to 1 peso daily. Modern machinery boosts land value and settlement, six steam mills and nine water mills operate locally, flour exports from local mills meet demand, wheat straw feeds stock, and imported wheat duty was removed. Last 12 months American wheat exports to Mexico reached 2 million dollars, with railroads ready for delivery to demand.
