Oklahoma State University Extension Grains Market Analyst Dr. Kim Anderson talks about what is going on in the Wheat Markets weekly on SUNUP.
With all the cold weather we have had in Oklahoma Dr. Anderson says the grain markets and commodities are in a sideways pattern, "You look at wheat since mid January, that KC/May contract sideways, from $6.10 to $6.50. The current prices around midrange in that, converting that to cash its a minus 25 cents in Northern Oklahoma to minus 35 cents in Perrington and Southern Oklahoma. Corn prices, we have the May contract of $5.20 to $5.70. Cash is 16 Cents below that in Northern Oklahoma, and 44 cents above that in Perrington/Panhandle area. Soybeans on the May contract, trading between $13 and $14 on a sideways pattern. Minus 45 cents in Northern Oklahoma, and Minus $1.05 in Southern Oklahoma and the Panhandle area." Anderson says wheat, corn, soybeans and cotton production is expected to increase in 2021, but price expectations may not reflect it.
