The latest projection shows a 7% decline from the earlier projection in January and 40% lower from a year ago. Wheat futures rallied to the daily limit of 30 cents for the fifth session in a row and closed up 16% for the week. Wheat prices at mid-day were trading at $10.93 per bushel, up 30 cents in Chicago and in Kansas were up 30 cents to $11.4025 per bushel."
