This week on SUNUP is Oklahoma State University Extension grain market economist Kim Anderson. During this week’s edition, Anderson talks about the latest in the crop markets.
Anderson said the markets continue to go up, except for soybeans and cotton. Wheat is 80 cents above average, Anderson added.
“If you look at wheat, they are up to $6.66 for harvest-delivered wheat at Pond Creek,” Anderson said.
Corn is up to $4.75, Anderson said, and the harvest average price is $4.80.
Regarding the May WASDE report that was released last week, Anderson said there were not any surprises from the pre-release estimates.
“The number to look at is the stocks-to-use ratio,” Anderson said. “Wheat for the U.S. is 41 percent average, and 40 percent projected.”
With wheat prices above average, Anderson recommends producers stagger their wheat in the market from June through August.
