Low prices and a surplus of wheat have moved farmers away from the Kansas staple for the past two years, reports News-Press Now.
Now the wet weather that has kept growers out of their fields during planting time this fall could further push the state’s winter wheat acres for next year’s crop toward the lowest point in a century.
Acres planted to wheat in 2017 and 2018 neared 100-year lows, The Hutchinson News reported. Last year’s 7.7 million wheat acres hit the lowest point in 60 years.
