Data

Ongoing shifts in regional
flour output shares
WASHINGTON - Third-quarter flour
production data from the North American Millers' Association as compiled by
Veris Consulting, Inc. indicated mostly
modest shifts in regional flour production with a few important exceptions.
In particular, Central states mills recorded a significant increase in their
share of national output after falling
sharply earlier in the year. The Western
region recorded a matching reduction
between the last two quarters. Spring
wheat states held recent share gains
while the Central states increased share
after a number of setbacks. According
to the Veris data, persistent long-run
trends between the various regions
were generally absent.
Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas
led among individual state groups and

reported state-groupings in flour production, followed by Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Next came
New Jersey and New York; California;
Missouri; Pennsylvania and North Dakota. Ohio and Texas filled out the top 10.
NAMA data showed total U.S. 24hour flour milling capacity in July-September down 461 cwts from the second
quarter. Missouri and North Dakota
both posted gains of 1,000 cwts and Oregon, Utah and Washington 860, while
Ohio was down 1,621, California was
down 1,200 and Texas was down 500. At
the same time, U.S. capacity in the third
quarter rose 24,139 cwts over a year ago.
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin were up
a combined 10,900 cwts, while Michigan
was up 5,000, Colorado, Oklahoma and
Kansas were up 4,500, New Jersey and
