The big takeaway from USDA’s Planting Intentions Report was the total acreage numbers that were down from last year. RCM Director of Risk Management Steve Wagner wants to know where they went. “Last year we had 253.8 million acres of total crop and this year it’s 248.9 million. It begs the question, where did they go? Are they going to hay? Are they just going to be fallow?” Wagner says the answer is something to watch for in the coming weeks as planting season arrives across the Midwest.
