No Change in Other Spring WheatWASHINGTON - Jan 12/06 - SNS -- Other spring wheat production for 2005 is estimated at 504 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2005 Summary but down 11% from last year, according to the USDA's final crop production report for 2005. Harvested area is 13.6 million acres, up 3% from 2004. The U.S. yield is 37.1 bushels per acre, down 6.1 bushels from the record high yield in 2004. Yields were down in all States except Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Oregon. The objective yield survey data showed that gross weight per head was down 15% from last year. In Wyoming, a record high yield was reported because of excellent irrigated yields. The spring wheat crop got off to a good start in the 6 major-producing States, with planting and emergence advancing well ahead of the 5-year average. This rapid progress was due to mild and dry weather during the early spring months. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
