Wheat Futures Prices Climb to Record Levels in Midwest
Wheat futures rose to the daily limit on major Midwest exchanges with Minneapolis quoting Sept at 4.4314 a bushel, Chicago at 4.24 for Sept and 4.23 for March. University of Minnesota economist Reynold Dahl predicts Sept wheat could reach 5 to 6 a bushel by month’s end amid supply concerns and potential export actions. He cites slower export demand, possible quotas, and ongoing pressure from Argentina, Australia, and the Soviet Union. Rising wheat prices forewarn higher bread costs for consumers.
