Historical Note

The Census Bureau has collected data on flour milling products since 1923, with annual summaries including wheat ground and wheat milling products.

Data, by states, were published monthly from 1927 to 1997.

Beginning in 1931 and ending with the June 1947 report, monthly wheat flour production by capacity groups was published.

The annual summary report during the years 1931 to 1964 also contained a table showing production by capacity groups.

Since 1998, data have been collected quarterly.

Historical Current Industrial Reports data (called Facts for Industry before 1959) may be obtained from a Federal Depository Library.
