U.S. winter wheat rating lower than last year
The USDA’s winter wheat condition rating is below a year ago.
48% of the crop is in good to excellent shape as of Sunday, 8% less than last year, largely due to year-to-year differences in conditions during dormancy.
5% of the winter wheat crop has headed, matching the five-year average.
2% of corn is planted, matching the normal pace.
4% of cotton is planted, compared to the usual rate of 6%.
13% of sorghum has been planted, compared to 14% most years in early April.
24% of rice is planted and 12% has emerged, both ahead of average.
3% of spring wheat is planted, in-line with typical progress.
The USDA’s weekly national crop progress and condition reports are scheduled to run through the end of November.
Further development of the grain sector in the Black Sea and Danube region will be discussed at the 23 International Conference BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV on April 24 in Kyiv.
