But demand is also up at home. More wheat is needed for animal feed to replace corn being grown to make fuel.
但是国内需求也在增大。更多的小麦被动物饲养需要,取代了为生产燃料而一直种植的玉米。
World wheat supplies are also down because in some countries, including the United States, bad weather has reduced production.
在包括美国在内的一些国家,因为天气恶劣导致小麦减产,所以世界小麦供应量也在下降。
Something else that can reduce wheat production is the wheat curl mite. 其他可以使小麦减产的就是小麦卷叶螨虫。
In nineteen ninety-five, it caused about thirty-five million dollars in damage in the American Midwest. 在1995年,这种虫子使得美国中西部损失3.5亿美元。
