OSU's Kim Anderson Says Wheat Markets Lacks Direction and Offers 2016 Marketing Advice

Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:44:39 CST

OSU's Kim Anderson Says Wheat Markets Lacks Direction and Offers 2016 Marketing Advice The wheat markets have been lacking trend direction. With global wheat crops in the bin and the 2016 winter wheat acreage estimates out, there's not much news influencing wheat prices. On this weekend's edition of SUNUP, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Specialist Kim Anderson said the March and July Kansas City wheat futures contract prices are bouncing around. He said the March Kansas City wheat futures contract has support at $4.65 and resistance at around $4.80.


With the strong U.S. dollar, U.S. wheat prices are well above international competitors. Anderson said Argentina's wheat is 84 cents a bushel lower than the U.S. because of Argentina's elimination of their 23 percent export tax. Russia is selling 12 and a half percent protein wheat for 68 cents a bushel less than the U.S. wheat and France has soft red wheat near those levels. He said right now U.S. wheat prices are well-above the world's market price.


SUNUP host Lyndall Stout asks Anderson about the harvest price outlook. He anticipates prices around $4.50 to $4.75 with fewer planted acres. He said right now farmers need to think about preparing equipment, top dressing their wheat, so the crop has the nutrients necessary to produce a quality crop. Anderson's biggest concern is producing a large, low protein crop that's not marketable. Oklahoma needs to produce 12 to 12 and half percent protein to match the Russia and Ukraine wheat crops. Additionally, farmers need to know how much they have invested in this wheat crop, so they can calculate their cost of production on a per bushel basis. Anderson said that will help with marketing the crop this next year.   Further, he said farmers need to look at the economic situation to make plans for finishing out this crop and establishing the 2016 wheat crop.
