Wheat outlook in Ohio 1882 crops and price stability
W. I. Chamberlain reports the April 1882 Ohio Agricultural Bureau figures project a total wheat crop of 95,519,461 bushels with 7,411,188 on hand in Ohio. National estimates show a possible surplus for export similar to 1881 but tightening supplies due to prior-year shortages, droughts, and export demand, suggesting limited downward price movement and potential for a price squeeze next year.
