The 2013 Prospective Plantings report published by USDA's National Ag Statistics Service was released today. There were no changes in USDA's estimate of planted acreage for California since the release of the January 2013 Winter Seedings report. USDA estimates winter wheat and durum planted acreage for 2013 harvest at 610,000 and 90,000 acres, respectively. Winter wheat's acreage estimate is the same as last year's planted wheat estimate; durum's acreage is estimated at only 64% of 2012 planted durum.
