Kim Anderson Analyzes Wheat Price Trends

Kim Anderson Analyzes Wheat Price Trends
The outlook for wheat prices is showing more downward potential. Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Economist Dr. Kim Anderson said between now and May 2015 the nearby Kansas City Board of Trade nearby contract wheat price could get down to $4.25/bu. He is basing his outlook on the 2008 - 2009 marketing year and 2009 -2010 marketing year price trends and current corn price trends.


"If you look back at '08 and '09 the stocks to use ratio was somewhere around 28 - 29 percent," Anderson said. " In '09 - '10 it increased to up over 40 percent. Right now our stocks to use ratio is around that 27 - 28 percent and next year if we get this wheat planted good, we got moisture, looks like we're having a big crop, then we could follow the same price patterns or near the same patterns as we followed back in '08 - '09 and '09 - '10."


Next year's harvest will determine the outlook for prices. On OSU's SUNUP TV program Anderson said he has been predicting a cash price at $5.50 with a futures price at $6/bu. He said he is looking to lower that futures price down to around $5.50 and it could be as low $4.75. With a short crop the price could go as high as $6.25


If the US produces a large wheat crop coupled with a large world wheat crop, Anderson said then wheat prices could head down to $4.50 on the Kansas City wheat futures contract. In taking 50 cents off that price for the cash price farmers are looking at about $4/bu.   


This fall and winter farmers will be beginning signing up for Farm Bill safety net programs. Under the 2014 Farm Bill, farmers will sign up and lock themselves into one program for the duration of the Farm Bill. Anderson said lower prices are going to support Price Loss Coverage program over the Agriculture Risk Coverage programs.
