Pete, The site is for the 2004-2005 crop year. I agree with you that in that year the U.S. exported 31.6 million tonnes of wheat and was the top exporter of wheat. However, the U.S. only produced 57.1 million tonnes in total for that year. Not sure how it could export 100 million tonnes in any year because some has to be for domestic consumption.
