USDA Cuts Durum Forecast
WASHINGTON - Aug 11/06 - SNS -- Durum wheat production is forecast at 54.7 million bushels in the United States, down 9% from last month and down 46% from 2005, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
The U.S. yield is forecast at 30.0 bushels per acre, 3.1 bushels less than last month and down 7.2 bushels from last year. Area harvested for grain totals 1.82 million acres, unchanged from last month but down 33% from last year. If realized, this will be the lowest harvested area since 1961 and the lowest production since 1988.
Yield forecasts are unchanged from last month in all States except Montana and North Dakota. Crop condition ratings and yield potential are down from the previous month in Montana and North Dakota due to hot and dry weather during the month July.
This weather has pushed the crop development and harvest progress ahead of normal in both States. Harvest is complete in California and Arizona.
