The USDA reports a 23% increase in Pacific Northwest winter wheat production over last year. In Idaho, winter wheat production rose by 11% to 62.3 million bushels, with spring wheat production up 20% to 38.7 million bushels. Yield for both winter and spring wheat remained strong at 89 bushels per acre. Idaho wheat farmers increased planted acreage for both winter and spring wheat, indicating its importance in crop rotations. Despite a rebound in production after droughts in 2021, wheat prices remain low due to high input costs and interest rates.
