Total Wheat 53.467 -5.666
Winter Wheat 37.172 -6.139

Using Allendale Inc. 160.42 bushel/acre trend yield, it would imply record production of 13.243 billion bushels versus last year’s 13.131 billion bushel crop.
Soybean planting intentions of 79.111 million acres is a new record. Using Allendale Inc. 42.69 bushel/acre trend yield, it would imply the second largest soybean production at 3.338 billion bushels. Last year’s record production was 3.359 billion.
Wheat acreage is estimated at 53.467 million acres. This is the smallest since 1970 when 48.739 million acres were planted. Using Allendale Inc. 43.54 bushel/acre trend yield, it would imply wheat production of 1.983 billion bushels versus last year’s 2.216 billion bushel production. The survey verified USDA’s winter wheat seedings report’s 37.097 with our own 37.172 million acre estimate.
