WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Agriculture Department estimates that Kansas farmers will plant corn on the same number of acres this season, even though growers elsewhere are cutting back.

Its prospective plantings report released Tuesday by National Agricultural Statistics Service forecast that Kansas would sow in 4.05 million acres of corn.

Nationwide, NASS has forecast the lowest planted corn acreage since 2010 due to lower prices.

Kansas growers are also expected to plant 2.9 million acres into sorghum, up 2 percent from a year ago.

Farmers in the state plan to reduced their soybean acres to 3.8 million acres, down 5 percent from last year.

The revised estimate for winter wheat acres planted last fall in Kansas is now at 9.4 million acres. That is down 2 percent from the previous year.
