An Ehmke Seed commentary argues that high wheat prices, now more than double the $5 level of recent years, will not necessarily lift Kansas wheat acreage. USDA's prospective plantings put all-wheat acreage at 47.4 million acres, the fifth lowest since 1919.

Low expected US wheat acreage limits supply growth and supports wheat prices, while competing sorghum and corn plantings also keep feed grain supplies tight. This is a structural view rather than a new supply shock.
