Book Description
Excerpt from The Wheat Situation, Including Rye, Vol. 29: March 24, 1939 On the basis of the March 1 reports from farmers 3/ regarding their acreage plans for the 1939 season, an area of million acres is now indicated for seeding to spring wheat. This acreage would be about 17 per cent less than the actual seedings in 1938, 13 percent below the lo - year (1929-38) average of 22.u-million acres, and the smallest seeded in 1m year with the exception of 19311. The total spring wheat acreage indicated for 1939 includes 3,5u5,000 acres of durum wheat and acres of other spring wheat. In those areas where both are grown, the durum wheat acreage is being reduced somed' what less than other spring wheat acreage. Comparing the prospective acre for 1939 with last year's seedings, the durum wheat acreage represents a decrease of 8 percent while other spring wheat shows a reduction Of about 1 percent. The prospective durum wheat acreage is only about 3 percent below the acreage seeded during the 1929 - 38 period, but the probable seedings of other spring wheat are 15 percent below the average for this period.
