Kim Anderson Expects Oklahoma Wheat Crop at 70 Million Bushels- 45% Less than 2010

Oklahoma State University Extension Grain Marketing Economist Dr. Kim Anderson believes that our 2011 wheat crop will come in around the seventy million bushel mark- this compared to the 126 million bushels harvested in 2010 and a ten year average of 124 million bushels. The short crop this year is based on the extremely dry conditions that much of Oklahoma's wheat belt has endured. Many locations have had little or not precipitation since planting time last September.
Dr. Anderson tells Dave Deken on this week's SUNUP that there could be another dollar downside in the current market, but relatively tight wheat stocks will likely keep the market falling much more than that.
As for a price prediction for Kingfisher, Oklahoma on June 20th of this year- Anderson believes the local elevator price there will be $7.75 per bushel.
