Fri, 28 Mar 2014 05:03:06 CDT
Lack of moisture in the southern hard red winter belt has been the underlying factor in pushing Kansas City wheat futures higher. Dr. Kim Anderson says that while the market is watching the political situation in Ukraine. However, it's clear that the recent rally in wheat futures prices is all about the stress being seen in the hard red winter wheat belt.
Dr. Anderson talked with SUNUP and offered his weekly his weekly look at the grain markets- and beyond the wheat crop condition, discussed the current forward contracts that are available to producers in wheat, corn and milo. In the case of wheat, you can contract wheat for harvest now for around $7.30 a bushel, based on current Kansas City July contract prices.
He also previewed the USDA Acreage and Grain Stocks reports that are scheduled to be released early next week.
