U.S. Safflower Area Up 6%WASHINGTON - Jun 30/08 - SNS -- Planted area of safflower in the United States increased 6% from 2007, to 191,000 acres in 2008, according to the USDA's seeded area estimates. Area for harvest is forecast at 183,000 acres, up 6% from last year. Growers in California, the largest safflower- producing State, planted 90,000 acres of safflower this year, an increase of 40,000 acres from 2007. The increase is largely due to high prices and low input costs for growing safflower. In contrast, Montana farmers only planted 32,000 acres, down 6,000 acres from last year.
