Allendale predicts the all-wheat plantings at 48.7 million acres, below the USDA prediction of 49.5 million but higher than the 2022 planted area of 45.73 million acres. Allendale projected U.S. farmers? winter wheat seedings to be 36.52 million acres, below the USDA?s January estimate of 36.95 million acres but up from the 33.71 million acres seeded during 2022.
