German Wheat Crop Seen Lower
The association of German farming cooperatives (DRV) forecast the 2010 winter wheat crop there at 24.59 MMT. That's a decrease of around 2% from last season's harvest of 25.2 MMT.
Rapeseed output will also decline to 5.67 MMT, they said (down around 10% from 6.3 MMT in 2009/10), with even greater falls seen in barley (-14%) and rye (-25%) production.
The reductions are seen on lower yields due to the cold winter and slow progress with spring plantings, they said.
