Looks like you found part of my LOST 2015 HRW Wht acres... Actually Kansas is down on sorghum plantings this year vs last.. http://www.usda.gov/nass/PUBS/TODAYRPT/acrg0614.txt Sorghum Area Planted for All Purposes and Harvested for Grain - States and United States: 2013 and 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ : Area planted for all purposes : Area harvested for grain State :----------------------------------------------------------------------- : 2013 : 2014 : 2013 : 2014 1/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ : 1,000 acres : Arizona ..........: 33 35 17 10 Arkansas .........: 130 140 125 135 Colorado .........: 400 265 240 170 Georgia ..........: 55 45 40 30 Illinois .........: 23 21 20 19 Kansas ...........: 3,100 2,800 2,800 2,600 Louisiana ........: 115 110 113 105 Mississippi ......: 65 90 62 85 Missouri .........: 70 85 60 75 Nebraska .........: 285 150 140 100 : New Mexico .......: 125 130 68 90 Oklahoma .........: 320 370 270 330 South Dakota .....: 340 230 275 150 Texas ............: 3,000 3,000 2,300 2,500 : United States ....: 8,061 7,471 6,530 6,399 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ However as you note it's pushing West.. into dryland country which WILL require a Fallow period and hence WHY Wheat acreage (I expect) to be lower... It does look good though.. ;-) |
