Durum output Up 70%
WASHINGTON - Sep 30/22 - SNS -- Durum wheat production for 2022 was estimated at 64.0 million bushels, up 70% from the 2021 total of 37.6 million bushels, according to the latest USDA crop production summary.
Area harvested for grain totalled 1.58 million acres, up 4% from the previous year. The United States yield was estimated at 40.5 bushels per acre, up 15.8 bushels from the 2021 yield.
Production in North Dakota, the largest Durum wheat-producing State, was up 59% from 2021. The increase in production is a result of dry conditions last year in the major Durum wheat growing States. Harvest began in the two major Durum-wheat producing States of Montana and North Dakota in August. Harvest was 91% complete in Montana and 65% in North Dakota by September 11.
