U.S. Spring Wheat Seedings Drop 3%
WASHINGTON - Jun 29/12 - SNS -- Area seeded to spring wheat other than durum is estimated at 12.0 million acres, down 3% from 2011, according to the USDA's seeded area estimates for 2012.
Of the total, about 11.4 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. Planted acreage is estimated to be down in all producing States except Montana. A record low acreage is estimated in South Dakota. Grain area is expected to total 11.7 million acres, 3% below 2011.
Crop development has been ahead of normal this spring primarily due to an accelerated planting season. By May 27, 96% of the crop had emerged in the six major spring wheat-producing States, 28 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. As of June 24, seventy-seven% of the crop was rated good to excellent compared with 69% last year.
