Oklahoma State University Extension Grains Market Analyst Dr. Kim Anderson talks about what is going on in the Wheat Markets weekly on SUNUP.
Farmers throughout the state are currently talking about wheat basis. Dr. Anderson says there is a cause for concern, "is the basis being used to hurt the farmers? No. Is there collusion on the basis? No. but if you look at the Kansas City Protein Basis last year it was $1.20, This year its much lower. The spread between 11.2, and 12.4 is the same for this year and last year, but this years Kansas City basis is 33 cents less than it was last year." Dr. Anderson said that may be a cause for some concern, but it doesn't mean someone is taking advantage of you. To hear more from Dr. Anderson on the Wheat Crop, click or tape below:
