# Does $10 Wheat Mean More Acres? – Ehmke Seed

> 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. Corn and milo prices have also risen, and the author says wheat remains the least profitable crop in K-State budgets.

## Why it matters

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.
