Will More Corn, Soybean Acres Come From Wheat?

U.S. farmers are ready to increase production of corn and soybeans for 2013, according to the latest "Farm Futures" survey. The survey manager says "at least some of the western acres could come from wheat." The survey also suggests abandonment of hard red winter wheat acres could be as much as 1.35 million more than usual due to poor conditions last fall. The survey showed total wheat seedings at 56.12 million, down 1 million from earlier surveys and the survey found growers on the northern Plains ready to plant 3% less spring wheat acres compared to 2012.
