A report from the crop-reporting board of the Department of Agriculture warns of a growing export surplus as American winter wheat acreage could rise by 13.7 percent to about 48.6 million acres for 1928. If yields hold, 626 million bushels of winter wheat plus a normal spring crop could push exports to around 250 million bushels, the highest since 1924, while competitors like Canada Australia and Argentina expand production. Prices may face pressure amid global supply growth.
