USDA : Prospective Plantings, 03.31.06

USDA U.S. Department of Agriculture - March 31, 2006

Cr Pr 2-4  (3-06)




Prospective
Plantings

National Agricultural Statistics Service
USDA
Washington, D.C.


Released March 31, 2006, by the National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of
Agriculture.  For information on "Prospective Plantings" call 
(202) 720-2127, office hours 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.



Corn Planted Acreage Down 5 Percent from 2005
  Soybean Acreage Up 7 Percent
All Wheat Acreage Down Slightly
All Cotton Acreage Up 3 Percent



Corn growers intend to plant 78.0 million acres of corn for all
purposes in 2006, down 5 percent from 2005 and 4 percent below
2004.  If realized, this will be the lowest corn acreage since
2001 when 75.7 million acres were planted for all purposes. 
Expected acreage is down from last year in most States as producers
intend to switch to other less input intensive crops due to high
fertilizer and fuel costs.  Dry conditions also contributed to
lower corn planting intentions in the southern Great Plains.



Soybean producers intend to plant 76.9 million acres in 2006, up
7 percent from last year.  If realized, this will be the largest
planted area on record.  Acreage increases are expected in all
growing areas, except in the central and southern Atlantic Coast
States and the southern Great Plains.  The largest acreage increase
is in North Dakota, where record high soybean yields last year and
high input costs have some farmers shifting acreage from other
crops to soybeans.  Large increases in soybean acreage are also
expected across the Corn Belt, including 600,000 more acres in
Illinois and 500,000 more acres in Indiana.



All wheat planted area is expected to total 57.1 million acres,
down slightly from 2005.  If realized, this will be the lowest all
wheat acreage since 1972.  Winter wheat planted area for the 2006
crop is 41.4 million acres, up 2 percent from last year.  Of the
total, about 29.8 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 7.42 million
acres are Soft Red Winter, and 4.22 million acres are White Winter. 
The 2006 other spring wheat planted acreage is expected to total
13.9 million, down 1 percent from 2005.  Of the total, about
13.2 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat.  Intended Durum wheat
planted area is 1.83 million acres, down 34 percent from the
previous year.  If realized, this will be the lowest Durum wheat
acreage since 1961.



All cotton plantings for 2006 are expected to total 14.6 million
acres, 3 percent above last year.  Upland acreage is expected to
total 14.3 million, also up 3 percent.  Growers intend to increase
acreage in all the cotton producing States except Alabama and South
Carolina, where expected acreage is down slightly from 2005. 
American-Pima cotton growers intend to increase their plantings 24
percent from 2005, to a record high 334,000 acres.  California
producers expect to plant 290,000 acres, up 26 percent from last
year.
