Increased Hay Harvest PlannedWASHINGTON - Mar 30/07 - SNS -- U.S. producers expect to harvest 63.1 million acres of all hay in 2007, up 4% from 2006, according to the USDA. Harvested acres are expected to increase from last year throughout the Great Plains and Southeast. Due to last year's drought reduced production and low hay supplies, harvested area is expected to increase by more than 100,000 acres throughout the Great Plains and in Alabama, Missouri, and Minnesota. The State with the largest expected increase is South Dakota, up 700,000 acres from 2006. However, acres for harvest in the Pacific Coast, Tennessee Valley, the Northeast and much of the Corn Belt are expected to decline or remain unchanged from 2006. The State with the largest expected decrease in harvested area is Iowa, with a decline of 100,000 acres from previous year. In the west, California expects harvested area to be down 50,000 acres.
