Canada's spring wheat crop will make up for shortfalls in U.S. winter wheat dropped by droughts in Kansas and Texas, The Western Producer reports March 20. As of March 12, only 17% of crops in Kansas and Texas are in good or excellent condition. Crop status reports as of March 19 show some improvement over the week, but still well below normal. Much of the region is experiencing drought ranging from "extreme" to "exceptional". In the winter of 2022-2023, American farmers planted 36.95 million acres (14.95 million hectares) with wheat, 11% more than a year earlier. The full extent of the losses will not be known until June. MarketsFarm analyst Bruce Burnett estimates the harvest will be 600 million bushels (16.296 million tons), plus or minus 25 million bushels (679 thousand tons). This is significantly less than in the previous season, when 75 million bushels (20.37 million tons) were harvested.
