Irregular weather, low prices and difficulties in negotiating with industry put wheat producers at a disadvantage. As producers let the recommended window for planting corn pass, the hectares allocated to wheat planting will be larger.
With the rain, the quality of the wheat drops from type 1 to type 2.
