Dryness Worries Here at the End of 2010 Will Carry Over Into 2011
Fri, 17 Dec 2010 6:25:11 CST
Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Economist Dr. Kim Anderson says that weather factors here in the US as well as Australia are driving the wheat market as we end 2010. He tells Lyndall Stout on this week's SUNUP that the dryness here in the western part of the Hard Red Winter wheat is a concern as we end 2010 and look into 2011. The wet conditions in Australia is hurting the quality of their wheat and that's playing into recent wheat price strength as well.
Dr. Anderson adds that the bidding war for acres between corn, soybeans, cotton and spring wheat continues- and that he thinks that corn really needs to "buy" three to nine million more acres in 2011 so that keeps a floor under all of our commodities- at least for now.

As far as the rest of the SUNUP lineup for this weekend- it's going to be a dandy:
SUNUP will take a look back at their favorite stories of 2010. They'll feature OSU homecoming, lesser prairie-chickens, a surprise hailstorm, wheat harvest and the piece that still tugs at our heartstrings, featuring a little boy who overcomes the odds to show his first lamb.
Also, holiday greetings for viewers from Dr. Robert Whitson and our SUNUP contributors.
Finally, bloopers and outtakes from behind the scenes.
