2. Do you have any idea what percentage of

our wheat production is spring wheat and what percentage is winter wheat?

jftr - My grandfather and uncles always referred to winter wheat as Russian wheat.

3. About 2/3 is winter wheat and the rest spring.

However, some wheat like Durham which is used for pasta is only grown in spring and mostly in North Dakota and Montana, both of which are behind in planting and well behind in what has emerged to date.

5. Something I found on the Accuweather site related to this.

Window closing for Midwestern corn farmers to plant crops amid persistent wet weather

The persistent wet weather in the Midwest has led to delays in corn planting for many farmers in the Corn Belt, potentially causing a decrease in the corn yield this year.

Midwestern farmers plant two main crops: corn and soybeans. Their current concerns, however, lie with planting corn first and on time, as it has a longer growing season.

The key date to plant corn by to avoid smaller crops is May 20. Normally, 80% of corn is planted by this date.

I guess we'll see on tomorrow's report if there was a big increase in planted acres, but I doubt it. Expect more price increases to go along with Trump's tariffs.
