How Much Wheat Is Grown In The United States?

The United States is one of the largest producers of wheat in the world.

Wheat is grown in various states across the country, with the primary wheat-producing regions being the Great Plains, the Midwest, and the Pacific Northwest.

In terms of production, the United States typically ranks among the top five wheat-producing countries globally.

However, the exact amount of wheat grown in the United States can vary from year to year depending on factors such as weather conditions, market demand, and agricultural practices.

To provide a general perspective, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data for the 2020-2021 marketing year, the total wheat production in the United States was estimated at around 1.82 billion bushels (approximately 49.5 million metric tons).

This includes all classes of wheat, such as hard red winter, soft red winter, hard red spring, soft white, and durum wheat.

If you consider an average weight of a loaf of bread to be around 1 pound, the amount of wheat grown in the United States would be equivalent to over 109 billion loaves of bread.
