Munich slipped from third to seventh place.

Some of the winter wheat varieties reported planted in North Dakota include Elkhorn, Harding, Ransom, Roughrider and Wesley. Winter wheat variety estimates are not published due to insufficient number of winter wheat variety reports in 2002.

SURVEY DESCRIPTION

The data in this report is based on the results of a June survey conducted by USDA's North Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service of over 1,900 wheat producers. Thank you to each person who supplied data and made this report possible.

Results include acreage and percentages at the state and Agricultural Statistics district levels. All variety data and planted district acreage in this publication are not official estimates. The number of summarized reports produce highly reliable state totals. At the district level, the number of reports for minor varieties is generally limited, hence some of the yearly variation in the district percent and acreage may be the result of sample variation.

The North Dakota Wheat Commission and the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Agriculture Experiment Station provided supporting funds for this survey. The NDSU Extension Service provided variety descriptions. Free copies of the publication are available from the North Dakota Wheat Commission, 4023 State Street, Bismarck, ND 58503-0690; telephone 701-328-5111.
