Solid Gain in U.S. Durum Output
WASHINGTON - Jul 12/07 - SNS -- Durum wheat production is forecast at 78.7 million bushels, up 47% from 2006, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates.
The U.S. yield is forecast at 36.4 bushels per acre, 6.9 bushels above last year. Area harvested for grain is expected to total 2.16 million acres, up 19% from last year.
Harvest is nearly complete in California where high winds caused some lodging in the San Joaquin Valley in mid-June. The Arizona harvest was 75% complete by July 1. Seeding in Montana was delayed in April due to rainy weather but progressed ahead of normal through May as drier weather brought favorable planting conditions.
In North Dakota, cool temperatures and snowfall delayed fieldwork during April but favorable weather allowed seeding to progress ahead of normal during May. Growers in both States finished seeding the crop at or ahead of the average pace. Yield prospects and crop condition ratings are up from the previous year in Montana and North Dakota. Crop development is ahead of normal in Montana and North Dakota mostly due to above average temperatures during the latter part of June.
