Oklahoma State University Extension Grains Market Analyst Dr. Kim Anderson talks about what is going on in the Wheat Markets weekly on SUNUP. This week Dr. Anderson said we are all waiting to see if the latest freeze has impacted the Wheat, "Well you look at the freeze and the impact from it..The Morning after and mid morning had an 11 cent increase in both corn and wheat prices, you had 11 cent increases in sorghum prices, then a nine cent increase in soybean prices. Now if you look over the last couple of weeks, say back to April 21, wheat could be forward contracted for harvest delivery for $5.47, $6.25 on the sixth, thats a 78 cent increase. You've got Corn, $4.68, up to $5.25 thats a 57 cent increase. Sorghum from $5.63 to $6.05, and soybeans from $12.01 to $12.40. So what we've seen is some of that is that increase, from the weather and from the freeze, but there's other factors going on in the market." To hear more from Dr. Anderson, click or tap below..
