Winter Wheat Estimates Cut In 1920s Style Forecasts
Washington forecast a winter wheat crop of 69,000,000 bushels, 30,000,000 less than last May, due to insects in Kansas and Oklahoma. Spring wheat is seen at 246,000,000 bushels as acreage drops eight percent and wet spring delays planting. Oats expected 300,000,000 bushels below last year, hit by green bug in southern states and central plains. Fruit crops overall look good, apples strong in the East, peaches weak. Crop conditions on June 1 show below last year’s small grains but near the five year average.
