A number of US states have its US winter wheat crop in a more or less bad shape, according to a USDA report.

Winter wheat acreage across the US mirrors conditions from a year ago, with most of the acreage in the moderate rankings between poor and good. Six percent of the wheat crop is listed as in excellent condition, down from eight percent a year ago. Ten percent of the crop is listed as very poor, up from seven percent a year ago.

In Texas, 40 percent of the wheat crop is in very poor condition while about 37 percent of Oklahoma's winter wheat crop is in very poor or poor condition.

But there are also variations. In California, 43 percent of the winter wheat crop is in excellent condition, while 80 percent of the crop in Idaho is in good or excellent condition.
