Unusual Significance of Northwest Spring Wheat Crop
Weekly Grain and Provision Review notes that spring wheat prospects in the northwest drive market attention while domestic winter wheat remains lighter than expected. A damage to spring wheat in North America or Canada could shrink Europe’s breadstuff supply for the next two to three months, with wheat up about 1.5 to 5 cents and corn rising around 2 to 4 cents. Oats gain modestly amid field reports and potential corn shortages. Provisions show mixed to higher prices as expectations of reduced hog receipts support upturns. Nebraska reports a notably large crop, influencing next week’s price movements tied to prairie marketing near Omaha.
