Changes in world exports and imports are also nearly offsetting; however, major export changes include 1-million-ton reductions for both Canada and EU-25 and 0. grain sorghum exports for 2006/07 are lowered 10 million bushels reflecting lower projected imports by Mexico. Projected grain sorghum ending stocks are increased an equal amount. Exports are raised 25 million bushels to 900 million reflecting improved export prospects as U. Adjustments are also made in imports, domestic use,...

Cold weather made a surprising sweep through Alabama over the weekend, but local agriculture experts say it could be two or three weeks before any costly effects are seen. For the wheat, it s almost harvest time and once the heads have emerged, those crops are susceptible to almost anything. If they have a limited amount they can cover them, but if they have a big field of crops, there s nothing we can tell them to do. The temperatures were predicted to hit the freezing mark Friday night,...

If it were just a matter of shifting the balance in already planted acreage - more corn, less wheat - a point of economic equilibrium might be found soon enough. Much of it is unsuitable for crops - too hilly, too wet, too valuable as wildlife habitat - but when corn prices are this high, the idea of suitable changes swiftly. Soybean acres are down by more than 10 percent, and there are similar decreases in wheat and cotton. Agricultural interest groups have begun to call on the Department...

Fill them, he suggests, with vanilla whipped cream and a compote of fresh fruit; with lobster and grapefruit; bake a lemon souffle inside; spread chocolate ganache in them; or maybe grate black truffles in the batter and then fill them with mascarpone cheese and grated fresh truffles, lots of them. The crepe's beauty is in its utter simplicity, both in composition and in consumption; and although it looks difficult, it's actually much easier to make than you might think. Creating Crepes:...

When projections of spring-planted wheat are added, the total planted area for wheat is forecast at 60 million acres - 2.7 million acres more than last season, the Economic Research Service said. That means the nation's farmers will likely harvest 358 million more wheat bushels this season, or about 2.17 billion bushels of wheat. Farmers, spurred by high wheat prices last fall, planted 3.5 million more acres of winter wheat than the previous season. Also, more wheat is likely to be fed to...
