Record U.S. Lentil Acreage
WASHINGTON - Jul 10/09 - SNS -- Planted area of lentils in the United States is estimated at 410,000 acres, 51% above 2008, according to the USDA's latest crop report.
If realized, this will be the largest planted acreage since the 429,000 planted acres reported in 2006. Harvested area is estimated at 399,000 acres, up 52% from last year.
North Dakota's planted area is estimated at 160,000 acres, up 68% from 2008. Planting was essentially completed by the end of May, two weeks behind last year, due to saturated fields and cold soil temperatures. Soil moisture supplies in northwest North Dakota were rated mostly adequate in late-April and May, then mostly short to adequate in June.
Montana growers planted 125,000 acres this year, 51% above last year, while producers in Washington and Idaho reported planted acreage increases from a year ago of 27% and 45%, respectively.
