Department predicts wheat price dip as harvest nears
Ag Department forecasts seasonal decline in wheat prices with the late spring and summer harvests. It expects ample supply from last year to prevent shortages before the new crop, with winter wheat hitting a low in late June or early July and spring wheat prices rising thereafter. The 1930s-era report cites an estimated 860 million bushels total wheat, up from prior forecasts, aided by durum planting allowances and expanded acreage.
