Farm Outlook by State Economist and Wheat Price Forecasts

Iowa State College economist Francis Kutish cites Leonard Schruben of Kansas State College predicting wheat could drop to one dollar per bushel if harvest dampness or excessive acreage reduces storage and government support. More likely prices dwindle to 1.25 to 1.40 per bushel if storage capacity comes online and harvest weather is dry. Protein feeds show soybean oil meal as the top protein for rations, with tankage and meat scraps up about 20 dollars per ton since January and higher year over year. For cattle and sheep, high quality alfalfa hay remains the cheapest protein source.
