This statistic shows the states with the highest wheat production in the United States in 2023 and 2024. North Dakota was ranked as the first leading wheat production state with about 367.7 million bushels produced in 2024 and just under 307 million bushels in 2023. Wheat production Wheat is the second most important grain that is cultivated in the United States, following only corn. Wheat is a cereal crop that can be classified into five major classes. These five wheat classes include hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, white, and durum wheat. Each class has a different end-use and the cultivation tends to be region-specific. Hard red winter wheat is mainly grown in the Great Plains area ranging from Montana to Texas. This type is primarily used for the production of bread flour. Hard red spring wheat is mostly cultivated in the Northern Plains area. Their wheat ears are mainly taken for protein blending purposes. Durum wheat, which is primarily grown in North Dakota and Montana, is known for their excellent qualities for producing pasta. The wheat class everyone knows from their breakfast cereal is named white wheat. Almost every U.S. state is involved in agricultural wheat production. The latest statistics show that North Dakota, Kansas and Montana were the leading wheat producing states among the United States.

In 2024, about 1.97 billion bushels of wheat were produced in the United States. The total U.S. wheat production value amounted to about 14.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.

The decline in revenue for industry farmers during the current period has primarily been driven by high global stocks and fierce international competition, compounded by climate volatility and challenging trade dynamics. High stocks of wheat and coarse grains are pressuring prices downward despite record domestic food use and demand for animal feed. Intense export competition from regions like the EU, Russia and Canada exacerbates this issue, making it difficult for US producers to maintain profit. Compounding the problem are climate and weather volatility, with increased instances of droughts and heat waves reducing yields and hindering production. Trade headwinds, including retaliatory tariffs and a strong US dollar, are also constraining exports, diminishing the competitiveness of US grain globally. Overall, industry revenue has dropped at a CAGR of 1.2% since 2020 to reach an expected $13.2 billion after a decrease of 6.3% in 2025. In addition to these external pressures, input costs remain a significant challenge for industry farmers. The persistently strong prices for fertilizers, pesticides and seeds, alongside increased agricultural wages and labor shortages, have elevated production expenses, straining profit as grain prices drop. Smaller and mid-sized farms are particularly affected, facing negative returns and low cash receipts. Some operations may be forced into consolidation if they are unable to absorb high costs. While some input prices, such as fuel and agrochemicals, have eased from huge spikes earlier in the current period, overall expenses continue to surpass commodity prices, eroding financial stability and forcing many producers to seek USDA program assistance to mitigate these challenges. Looking ahead, the wheat, barley, sorghum, oats and rye farming sector is expected to gradually recover as global stocks stabilize and demand grows, expanding at a CAGR of 0.9% to reach $13.8 billion in 2030. Easing supply chain disruptions and stabilizing input costs are expected to support this recovery. Future weakening of the US dollar stands to improve export competitiveness, offering some optimism for US producers. However, the recovery will vary across segments, with those benefiting from strong domestic demand or value-added products rebounding more quickly than those reliant on bulk exports.

This statistic shows the total value of wheat produced in the United States from 2000 to 2024. The value of U.S. wheat production amounted to about 10.93 billion U.S. dollars in 2024. Wheat production The United States was the fifth-largest global wheat producer during the 2021/2022 marketing year, after China, the European Union, India, and Russia. The country’s wheat production has fluctuated over the past decade, however. Until 2016, U.S. agriculturists and farmers harvested over two billion bushels of wheat annually. Harvests dropped slightly in subsequent years. During the past two years, North Dakota and Kansas were the key wheat-producing U.S. federal states. North Dakota yielded about 299.9 million bushels of wheat in 2022, overtaking the 244.2 million bushels in Kansas. In 2020, North Dakota's wheat harvest was valued at roughly 1.4 billion U.S. dollars.

USA Crop Frequency is a thematic imagery service which serves the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service Crop Frequency Data Layers. The service displays how many years corn, cotton, soybeans, or wheat were grown on a pixel since 2008. First, connect to the USA Crop Frequency service, then choose the processing template for the commodity you would like to view/analyze, whether corn, soybeans, wheat, or cotton.The default view of the USA Crop Frequency service shows how many years since 2008 that a pixel grows any of these four commodity crops. (Note: If two ore more commodity crops are both grown on the same pixel during a year, this counts as only one year in which any of the commodity crops was grown.)

To see how many years just corn, soybeans, wheat, or cotton are grown, choose the processing template that is appropriate for that commodity. Two templates exist for each commodity, one built by USDA with the default USDA color scheme, and one built by Esri.In ArcGIS Online, choose a processing template by clicking ... under crop frequency in the Table of Contents, then choose Image Display. Next, choose a renderer in the dialogue to see just corn, soybeans, wheat, or cotton in either an Esri or USDA color scheme.Value in Billions of US Dollars, 2014:Corn $52.4Soybeans $40.3Wheat $11.9Cotton $5.1Corn (Zea mays) is the most widely produced feed grain in the United States. The largest share of the corn produced in the USA (33%) is used to feed livestock, followed by 27% used to make ethanol for fuel. 11% of it is used to create food for humans, including high fructose corn syrup, sweeteners, starch, beverage alcohol, and cereals. Soybeans (Glycine max) are a widely grown crop in the United States. The beans are edible and have many uses. The beans are 38-45% protein and constitute the most important protein source for feed farm animals in the United States. They are also widely used to extract soybean oil, and in processed foods. Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a grass grown for seed and is used to make pasta (durum wheat), bread, baked goods, and other foods. For this service, "wheat" is a combination of durum, spring, and winter wheat, spelt, and triticale. These subclasses of wheat are identified by pixel in the USA Cropland thematic imagery service for years 2008-2019.Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is a flowering plant grown for its balls of soft, fluffy fibers that grow in a boll. Almost all of the boll is used as fiber in textiles, but the seeds may also be used to make oils, and the seed hulls used to feed livestock.
