This Week on SUNUP is Oklahoma State University Extension grain market economist Kim Anderson. During this week’s edition, Anderson talks about the latest in the grain markets and the upcoming WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report.
As the USDA will release the May WASDE report on Friday, May 12, Anderson said those estimates will be important because it is the first time the USDA will release the estimates for the 2023 and 2024 crop year numbers.
“I think the most important numbers, though, are the ’22 and ’23 crop years for wheat that ends in May for corn and beans that end in August and for cotton that ends in July,” Anderson said. “I think those numbers are important because they set the foundation for the next year.”
Anderson also talked about the supply and demand for wheat. World wheat stocks, he added, are tight.
“I think the best way to look at that is ending stocks,” Anderson said. “You could look at the stocks to use, but I like those ending stocks. You look at the world for the ’22-’23 marketing year- 9.7 billion bushels. Your average is 10.5.”
The industry’s wheat ending stocks estimate for 2023 (not USDA’s estimate), Anderson said, was slightly lower at 9.5 billion.
“Looks like wheat stocks are going to stay tight into the next marketing year,” Anderson said.
