Wheat planting to be curtailed in grain states
United States farmers plan to plant 46 523 000 acres of winter wheat producing about 610 million bushels. Planting intentions show a year to year reduction but large acreages remain in the Great Plains for higher per acre profits. Domestic needs are about 180 million bushels with this year's crop seen around 205 million. Some western Nebraska counties report farmers facing losses amid a demoralized wheat market.
