New Mexico Winter Wheat Crop Slumps Again This Year
New Mexico Agriculture Department statistician estimates this year’s winter wheat crop at 570000 bushels, 216000 below last year and the smallest since 1936. Harvestable acreage is about 114000 of 630000 planted, due to insufficient moisture. Spring wheat production also dips slightly below the 10 year average, but per acre yields edge up to 14.5 bushels. The apple crop remains the bright spot in the report.
