Certainly, market developments between the survey and actual planting time may encourage some producers to change their minds with regard to what to plant, but most will have cast their die. Weather plays a great role in whether what growers intend to plant is actually seeded. Last March, producers indicated they intended to plant 2,365,000 acres to durum and 14,427,000 acres to spring wheat other than durum. But because of excessively wet conditions across the northern Plains last spring, only 1,369,000 acres of durum and 12,394,000 acres of other-spring wheat were actually planted.
