OSU's Kim Anderson Says Wheat Harvest is Behind about 15% but That shouldn't Affect Prices

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 says even though we are seeing a few combines rolling, Harvest in Oklahoma is behind, "We are probably running about 15% below average, and it started late. You'vr got some fields where its rained and its too muddy to get the combines in, but then you get cloudy, high humid days like today and most wheat kernels just won't dry out so that you can get that wheat in the bin. The Wheat Elevators will have a discount for wheat weight above 12.5%, and they really want it below 11.5%." Anderson says even though Harvest is behind, that doesn't make much difference in the prices, "Maybe a minor impact where some local flour mills are dependent upon that wheat coming in. I think, what's driving prices right now is the supply and demand conditions both current and on expectations."
