text: This chart shows the percent change in seeded acres from the March Intentions report to the final acres reported in December for 2017 (blue bars) and on average over the past five years (green bars). Early estimates have consistently overestimated seeded acres for spring wheat and flax over the past five years, while consistently underestimated acres seeded to canola, soybeans and lentils.
