Anderson Expects Wheat Planted Acres to Stay Steady, Canola Acres to Grow
Thu, 27 Sep 2012 17:58:00 CDT
OSU Small Grains Marketing Specialist Kim Anderson says planted acres in Oklahoma are revealing a few surprises. In a preview of his analysis on this week's SUNUP program, he tells Dave Deken he's seeing some interesting trends develop.
"The chatter in the market is that the wheat planted acres will be higher this year and I think that there is no question that in the soft red winter wheat area we'll have higher planted acres. Hard red winter wheat planted acres, that's questionable. Oklahoma will probably be about the same. You know, we're going to have an increase in canola planted acres and that's going to reduce some of our wheat planted acres, but I still think it's going to be the same as last year, at least in this location."
Even though wheat acres will apparently stay steady, Anderson says he doesn't believe that will hold true for canola planted acres.
"Well, if you look at canola, I just visited with a few people, of course nobody knows the exact number, but they're talking about a shortage of canola seed, having a hard time getting it. And, to me, that implies a lot of producers are going to plant canola. I know I talked to one producer and he's going not from a third, a third, and a third, in other words one-third canola, two-thirds wheat, he's going 50-50. He really likes canola."
