Dr. Kim Anderson, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Economist, says the recent numbers for wheat production released by the USDA were higher than expected at about 2% higher. World production of wheat is predicted at 24.6 billion bushels, which is higher than last year and production in the southern plains is down.
In Texas, production is down from 128 million bushels last year to a predicted 47 million. Kansas is down as well from 360 million in 2010 to a predicted 262 million for 2011. In Oklahoma, a predicted 75 million which is significantly less than the 121 million from last year. Oklahoma has an average of 105 million bushels from the last five years.
