Kim Anderson Sees the Market Telling Farmers to Hold a Portion of their 2016 Wheat Harvest for Later in 2016
Fri, 03 Jun 2016 03:48:19 CDT
Current wheat price movement suggests strong support at recent levels- that's the word from OSU Extension Grain Market Economist Dr. Kim Anderson. Anderson believes it is possible that we could see some further weakening of wheat prices as the 2016 winter wheat crop is harvested in the hard red winter wheat belt, but he expects that to be perhaps a ten to twenty cent decline. He does not anticipate a a major collapse of wheat prices from current levels.
From there, Anderson says that out in the future wheat futures suggest the market will pay farmers to store at least some of their 2016 crop. Dr. Anderson reports on this coming weekend's SUNUP, as produced by OSU Ag Communications, that globally, the wheat crop seems to be doing well- better than you might have expected just a few weeks ago. That good news would normally have been bad for wheat prices- but recent wheat price levels based on the Kansas City Board of Trade HRW futures has held up in the face of a possible bumper crop not just in the US- but in places like the Ukraine, Australia and Russia.
Based on what he sees the market saying in those deferred wheat contracts, Anderson thinks holding a portion of the 2016 wheat that you harvest makes a lot of sense. You can hear his comments that will be a part of SUNUP this weekend a day early by clicking on the LISTEN BAR below.
