This week on SUNUP, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Specialist Kim Anderson talks about what is going on around the world with the wheat markets.
Starting in the Black Sea area of Russia - they missed their projected wheat-harvest mark by about 500 million bushels, putting them in the news a lot lately, according to Anderson. At the same time, he said it looks like Ukraine produced a near-record harvest. Overall, the low harvest number are good for wheat prices.
In the European Union produced a big wheat crop at 5.1 billion bushels, but rain is impacting that harvest.
"39% of it is projected to be below the minimum level of test weight for flour milling," Anderson said. "However, it still could be a good flour-milling crop."
Australia also produced a big crop, surpassing their five-year average by around 218 million bushels.
For the world, a record crop is in the bin with 28.5 billion bushels. Anderson said although we have a lot of wheat, he doesn't think it is in the "right position."
