Wheat Exports Continue to Look Strong Into New Calendar Year
Thu, 16 Dec 2010 3:06:51 CST
Wheat export expectations continue to look very strong for the current marketing year as we wind down 2010 and look into the early part of 2011- so says the President of US Wheat Associates, Alan Tracy. Right at harvest time in Oklahoma and into southern Kansas, price and export prospects were bleak with the export market being incredibly picky about protein discounts. By the latter part of July, the situation was rapidly changing and it has remained much more bullish for wheat sales since that point.
We caught up with Alan Tracy at the Oklahoma Wheat Growers Association and talked with him about the current strength of the market, what he was hearing at a major buyers conference in South Africa right around Thanksgiving as well as what lies ahead for US wheat exports as we make preparations for biotech wheat.
