# USDA Reports Offer Early Snapshots of 2018/19 U.S. Winter Wheat Crop - U.S. Wheat Associates

> USDA's early reports on the 2018/19 U.S. winter wheat crop point to further area reduction, with 2018/19 wheat seedings projected at 45.0 million acres, down from the record low 46.0 million in 2017/18. Analysts expect planted area to fall another 4% to 6%, and a strong dollar is pressuring U.S. wheat demand.
