 the year ending September 30, 1986, decreased 16 percent from the 

 previous fiscal year. Wheat and wheat products accounted for about 13 

 percent of the total value of the national exports.

 barley crop, export revenues dropped sharply for the '86 fiscal year.

 followed by Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
