U.S. wheat farmers raised planted area in 2023.
Planted area for all types of wheat is pegged at 49.855 million acres, a little bit more than the Ag Outlook Forum and a jump of 9% from last year.
That includes a 13% rise in winter wheat to 37.505 million acres, considerably more than many pre-report estimates, with spring wheat at 10.57 million acres, potentially the lowest since 1972, under expectations, and 2% less than last year.
