Anderson Says Corn, Wheat May Become Uncoupled in Grain Markets

Anderson Says Corn, Wheat May Become Uncoupled in Grain Markets
Kim Anderson, Oklahoma State University grain marketing specialist, says conditions are right for corn and wheat to come uncoupled in the markets. He says the deepening drought and decreasing stocks may have a long-term impact.

"The drought has been responsible for a couple-dollar increase in corn prices and wheat prices, but I think that drought impact is slackening now. I think the market is starting to look at more demand issues, things that are going on in the market, and some supply.

"If you look at corn, they're talking about not having enough corn either to meet our feeding needs or export needs or the ethanol needs. So, something's got to give there. The EPA said that we're not going to reduce EPA standards.

"China comes into play because China's bought a lot of corn. Will China export some corn? If China buys more corn-and we know they've got plenty of dollars-then that is really going to tighten things up and maybe have a shortage in corn."

Anderson said the price of wheat could come uncoupled from the corn price if we lose a little more wheat production.

"I think wheat stocks are tight enough that wheat could divorce itself from the corn price and no longer be a follower and wheat prices could go on up irrespective of what corn does.
