This is the lowest level of winter wheat planted since 1980, which had 1.2 million acres planted. This is also the third straight year winter wheat seedings have decreased in South Dakota since the record high of 2.1 million acres were planted for the 2007 crop. Over the last 10 years, South Dakota has averaged 1.61 million acres of winter wheat seedings.
