General Decline in U.S. Pulse AreaVANCOUVER - Mar 30/07 - SNS -- Land dedicated to pulses will decline this year if growers follow through on seeding intentions reported to the USDA in March. Growers intend to reduce land in all major categories of pulses this spring, reflecting stiff price competition from other crops. Total area could fall 8.1% to 2.783 million acres. However, if yields are at their recent five-year averages, total pulse production levels will be little changed from last year. There is a chance total output could reach 1.857 million metric tons (MT), just over 1,000 MT below last year. The biggest decline is expected to be in dry edible bean area, with seedings of beans other than chickpeas dropping from 1.493 million to 1.379 million acres.
