# Competing for Acres: 2018/19 Global Wheat Production to Fall - U.S. Wheat Associates

> U.S. Wheat Associates says the April 10 WASDE projected global wheat feed use at 146 million tonnes, 7 percent above the five-year average, as feed grain supplies shrank. Global corn production fell 4 percent to 1.04 billion tonnes on drought in Argentina and lower Brazilian second-crop output.

## Why it matters

Tighter feed grain supplies push livestock feeders toward wheat, supporting wheat demand, and the corn shortfall lifts corn values. Wheat's 2018/19 production outlook also points to lower output as farmers compete for acres.
