Wheat lands in the middle cash-receipt band
Wheat scores $10.3B, between the lower third (<$7.5B) and the upper third (≥$46.1B) of the 12 valued commodities, with KS as the top state.
State concentration for wheat: the top five producers (North Dakota, Kansas, Montana, Washington, Minnesota) account for about 61679% of the national receipt total in this extract, and a drought or trade shock in any one of those states moves the national price picture within a marketing year.
As a grain account, wheat receipts track planted acres, yields, and farmgate prices that USDA NASS and ERS publish separately by state. Figures follow USDA Economic Research Service Farm Income and Wealth Statistics and NASS production series, not typed editorial estimates.
