Agricultural statistician Fred Daniels reports a forecast of 1,262,000 bushels of winter wheat for New Mexico, down from 1,410,000 last year and well below the 1930-39 average.

Hay conditions rise to 89 percent, with farm stocks at 48,000 tons, and April rainfall boosts soil moisture and range prospects.
