Each nation specializes completely, based on comparative advantage, and the price of 1 head of cattle equals 1 bushel of wheat.

Asap Wichita — Farmers in Kansas, the biggest US producerof wheat, are abandoning their crops damaged by severedrought and cold.Some are spraying wheat fields with crop-killingchemicals and claiming insurance payouts in the beliefthat it is not worth harvesting the little grain that thereis, Reuters found on a three-day tour of the state. Othergrowers let cattle graze on the dismal-looking fields.Abandoning fields will reduce the crop of the world’sfifth-largest wheat exporter, with stocks expected to fallto a 16-year low. Large-scale abandonment deals aneconomic blow to farm towns and force wheat buyersto adjust procurement plans by buying the staple grainelsewhere.Nationally, winter-wheat farmers plan to abandon 33%of the acres they planted, the highest percentage sinceWorld War 1, the US department of agriculture said ina May 12 report.Kansas farmers are expected to abandon about 19% ofthe area planted last autumn, up from 10% in 2022 and4% in 2021, according to the report.
