Wheat outlook and population growth suggest tight future supply
The 1910 census projection by James J. Hil estimates a U S population near 90 million and a wheat need of about 630 million bushels for domestic use. Current output is about 660 million, leaving only 20 million for export, with past exports exceeding 120 million. The decade shows flat yields despite 21 percent population rise, signaling fewer surpluses and likely higher prices ahead.
