USDA calls for more wheat production, conditions vary

USDA calls for more wheat production, conditions vary

The president of the National Association of Wheat Growers says while USDA has increased its outlook for planted acres, conditions remain variable.

Michigan farmer Dave Milligan tells Brownfield some farmers couldn’t get the acres they wanted planted last year because of questionable conditions and rain and ice have continued to beat the crop over the winter.

“The crop probably isn’t dead yet, we’ll have to see what happens in the spring,” he says.
