This week on SUNUP, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Specialist Kim Anderson talks about how grain prices keep going up.
In July, wheat was going for $5.96; from there the price could climb or drop up to 30 cents in a day, according to Anderson. By the middle of August, he said wheat prices were averaging around $7.17. This week, prices are hitting $7.75, he added.
Corn and soybeans follow. In August, corn prices were around $5.00, now corn prices are up to $5.65. Soybeans were around $11.30 in the middle of August, now they are up to $12.00.
"If you look at cotton on September 20, we had 89-cent cotton earlier this week," Anderson said. "Now, we are at $1.16."
According to Anderson, supply and demand and uncertainty are what is driving these prices up.
"Supply and demand are reflected in your projected ending stocks," Anderson said.
