Argentine Assured Of Big Wheat Crop
Argentine crop prospects look strong with frost damage fears easing. Grain men peg export wheat around 125 to 150 million bushels, despite a 20 percent fall in planted area. Current shipments total 565 thousand bushels of new wheat, 16.5 million of old wheat awaiting export, and 13.3 million bushels of new wheat booked for shipment before January 21. An ample two weeks of rains boosts a large corn crop, potentially lifting exports beyond 390 million bushels from prior years, while Linseed yield is expected at 72 million bushels. The peso’s anticipated recovery may influence farmer profits as the crop movement peaks.
