# Wheat crisis: 50% of acreage in the Yaqui and Mayo valleys may be left unplanted

> Agricultural representatives in Sonora warned that as much as half of the acreage in the Yaqui and Mayo valleys could be left unplanted this season. They said the land has sufficient reservoir water but that inadequate federal support and poor farm economics are preventing producers from planting.

## Why it matters

Reduced planted area could lower local wheat production and tighten regional supply, supporting prices if the acreage loss materializes. The report concerns a significant share of acreage in these valleys, but gives no estimate of the resulting production shortfall.
