U.S. Flaxseed Crop Sinks

WASHINGTON - Jan 12/12 - SNS -- Production of flaxseed totaled 2.79 million bushels in the United States, down 69% from last year, according to the USDA's final production estimate for 2011 crops.

This represents the lowest production in the United States since 1997. Harvested area totaled 173,000 acres in 2011, down 59% from last year.

The decline in acreage was mainly due to unfavorable weather conditions in the spring and high prices of competing commodities. The average yield for 2011, at 16.1 bushels per acre, is down 5.6 bushels from 2010 and represents the lowest average yield for the United States since 2006.
