This Week on SUNUP is Oklahoma State University Extension grain market economist Kim Anderson. During this week’s edition, Anderson talks about the different factors impacting the grain markets this week.
“You look at wheat prices, they took a beating this last week,” Anderson said. “Go back to the September time period, we had wheat prices up $9.75, came into September and October, and leveled off around $8.50.”
Now, Anderson said wheat is down around $7.70, depending on the area.
“If you look at this past week, we had the seedings report come out,” Anderson said. “Increased planted acres for your winter wheat crop.”
Anderson said Australia is harvesting a 1.5-billion-bushel wheat crop, ahead of their record last year of 1.34 billion bushels. Australia is having some issues with quality, Anderson said, as it started raining when they got into the harvest.
Fertilizer prices are starting to come down, Anderson said, although that will vary depending on the region.
