Excerpt from Wheat Situation: November, 1980The 1980 u.s. Wheat crop developed through a variety of conditions - from drought to excessive rains - but the hardiness of the wheat plant was again evident as the October 1 crop estimate was a record billion bushels, up 10 percent from last year. Chances are 2 out of 3 that this forecast will not differ from the final production by more than 35 million bushels. A 14-percent increase in harvested acreage more than offset lower yields bushels per acre, compared with a record bushels in 1979.The 1980 winter wheat crop was planted under dry soil conditions in the Southern Plains but was fol lowed by a mild winter which minimized freeze dam age. A wet, cool spring caused late maturing of the crop and delayed the harvest, but producers garnered a record billion bushels. The average winter wheat yield of bushels per acre was less than a bushel short of 1979's record although there were marked regional variations. White winter wheat yields in the Pacific Northwest increased sharply, helping to produce a record crop; Hard Red Winter yields averaged slightly lower in southern areas but were record high in western regions; and eastern Soft Red yields were records in many States.Responding to advancing Durum prices, growers upped plantings 35 percent last spring. But persistent drought in Durum areas lowered yields by 5 bushels, so on balance, the crop of 107 million bushels was virtually the same as last year. Cool, wet weather in the Northern Plains delayed the har vest causing over half of the crop to suffer sprout damage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
