| Last year, we only had 1.892 million acres of "Prevented Plantings" of the Major Crops..
929 k in Corn, 276 k in Beans and 375 k in Wheat.
In 2011 we had 9.617 million acres of Prevented Plantings..
North Dakota 812.6 k in Corn, 480 k in Beans and 2,964 k in WHEAT!! for a Total of 4.485 million ACRES ALONE in ND!! South Dakota 818 k in Corn, 368 k in Beans and 102 k in Wheat!! Montana 853 k in Wheat Minny 185 k in Corn Illinois 131 k in Corn Indy 160 k in Corn
Kansas has NEVER been a BIG Prevented plantings player.. to the scale of say North Dakota.. but this year.. we probably.. our local agency says about 10% PP.. we're probably high but across the state that would be like 750 k acres..
probably.. throwing dart to dart board.. more like 400 k, 450 k.. ish.. and another 300 k that.. just won't be turned in.
In 2011 US had 3.013 myn PP Corn. 1.447 myn PP Beans and 4.117 myn PP Wheat for a total of 9.617 million acres plus another 1.2 unable for a TOTAL of 10.8 million acres which did not get in.
Some say we are in worse shape now vs then... ???
