The bread grain acreage amounted to the equival- ent of 4,977 thousand acres, as against 4,775 thousand acres in 1948. The crop is estimated at about 128 million bushels, com- pared with 96 million bushels in 1947 and an annual average be- tween 1933-43 of 143 million bush- els. The yield is expected to be about 25.6 bushels an dcre as against 20 bushels an acre in 1947.
