Bread Grain Need Abroad Stays High
The Agriculture Department said foreign buyers will likely use all bread grains the United States and Canada can export this year despite an improved crop outlook. Demand in Europe and Asia remains high, with transportation limits likely capping exports at about 600 million bushels of wheat, flour and coarse grains. Domestic production is forecast at 1.284 billion bushels of wheat, Canadian output at 372 million, and European crops above last year but below pre war levels. If world harvests meet expectations, domestic wheat prices may stay near government support levels into spring.
