This week on Sunup, Crop Marketing specialist Dr. Kim Anderson is talking about how low prices may go before they stabilize. Anderson says he's been in the business for over 40 years and these are the most uncertain times that he has experienced, "You go back to February 1 the wheat prices were around $7.50. Before February 20, I'd probably say the price range for wheat was from $7 to $8.50 with the lowest price at $6.00. After the 20th, The wheat prices were $8 on the 20th. I think I put that range from $9 to $11 with a bottom at $8, maybe $7.50. But we've got a higher level of prices right now and I believe it's going to hold at least through our harvest."
