Farm News: For Fields That Made It - Wheat Looks GoodcommentsPosted: 06.12.2011
For most Wisconsin farmers, they'd already made the decision whether their wheat fields were worth working with this spring - or opted instead to plow them down and plant the more attractive corn or soybeans. For the growers that have the wheat remaining, state ag officials say yields look better then last year. Winter wheat production in Wisconsin as of June 1, is forecast at 20.7 million bushels from 305,000 acres to be harvested for grain in 2011. The expected yield reported by farmers on June 1 is 68 bushels per acre, up 1 bushel per acre from the May 1 forecast. 2010 final production totaled 14.7 million bushels on 230,000 acres, with a yield of 64 bushels per acre. Nationally, winter wheat production is forecast at 1.45 billion bushels, up 2 percent from the May 1 forecast but 2 percent be-low 2010. Based on June 1 conditions, the U.S. yield is forecast at 45.3 bushels per acre, up 0.8 bushel from last month and 1.5 bushels less than last year. Expected area for harvest as grain or seed totals 32.0 million acres, unchanged from May 1.
