This Week on SUNUP is Oklahoma State University Extension grain market economist Kim Anderson. During this week’s edition, Anderson talks about the latest news in the crop markets.
Anderson said he believes wheat prices have reached a bottom, as they are at about $5.60 now.
“If you look at the average Oklahoma wheat price, it is $5.85,” Anderson said. “If you look at ending stocks right now for U.S. wheat, projected to be around 700 million bushels, $8.50 is the average.”
Anderson said that the U.S. and the world are below average on wheat stocks, so wheat prices should hold above $5.85.
Looking into the 2024 wheat crop, Anderson said the market is offering close to 20 or 30 cents higher than the current price.
As corn harvest is near completion, Anderson said that corn prices have also bottomed out.
“You have got corn prices up around $4.60, so they have come off of that bottom,” Anderson said.
