California Wheat Estimates in Sacramento Union Aug 3
The Sacramento Union suggests California wheat surplus this year ranges from 18 to 20 million centals and may fall below 16 million. If as high as 16 million centals are spared, California could meet about three tenths of English demand while the rest of the world supplies seven tenths. Observers warn farmers to store crops for next year to avoid low prices and potential double profits later. The piece notes many new warehouses rising across the state and that wheat stored in weatherproof warehouses does not deteriorate.
