A new federal agricultural report reveals mixed results for two major U.S. crops, with winter wheat coming in lower than expected while orange growers are seeing better-than-anticipated yields.
According to the report, winter wheat production has fallen 4 percent below the forecast issued in June. At the same time, orange production has risen 3 percent compared to projections made in April.
The figures were released by federal agriculture officials as part of a routine crop production update tracking how harvests are measuring up against earlier estimates.
