Dr. Kim Anderson Says Too Much Wheat Worldwide, Expect Lower Prices for the Foreseeable Future

Thu, 17 Aug 2017 16:36:46 CDT

Dr. Kim Anderson Says Too Much Wheat Worldwide, Expect Lower Prices for the Foreseeable Future This week, SUNUP returns after a two-week hiatus, and once again Oklahoma State University Grain Market Economist Dr. Kim Anderson joins host Dave Deeken, to talk wheat prices in the wake of the August 10 World Agricultural Supply & Demand Estimates report released by the US Department of Agriculture.


Deeken recounts from last week that the numbers in that WASDE report were not as expected and since the market has seen the price for wheat steadily drop.


Currently, the Kansas City contract is at $4.45, down almost $1.50 from July 5th. According to Anderson, none of the market analysts he follows is predicting a bottom to this free-fall.


He claims this is not the fault of US producers, but instead lays blame at the feet of our foreign competitors like Russia, who continue to grow record crops as ending stocks remain piled up.


Foreign production totals this year at 25.6 billion bushels. Here at home, producers have decreased production this year about 500 million bushels to 1.7 billion down from 2.3 billion last year.


The enormous amount of wheat backlogged in the system will continue to weigh on prices, Anderson says, until a major weather event takes out a foreign crop - or if the entire US were to take a year out of wheat production. Something he says is highly unlikely to happen. Although, he does believe we could see less acres planted in 2018.


You can watch their visit tomorrow or Sunday on SUNUP- but you can hear Kim's comments right now by clicking on the LISTEN BAR below.
