OSU’s Kim Anderson Says It Is a Relatively Good Week For Crop Prices

Listen to Kim Anderson talk about the latest in the crop markets on OSU’s SUNUP.

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 crop markets.

Anderson said there is good news in the crop markets this week, especially with wheat prices, which broke $5.50 this week and are now up around $5.60. The average is about $5.80, Anderson added.

When it comes to selling wheat, Anderson said there is a lot of variability in price during the summer months, and he talked about lows and highs in prices from the past few years.

There was a bit of a rally on corn prices, but Anderson said they are still moving slightly sideways.

“For harvest prices, they (corn) are knocking on that upper level and will maybe break through that,” Anderson said.

As for soybeans, Anderson said he sees them starting a sideways pattern.

“This is a relatively good week for prices,” Anderson said. “Cotton prices are still going down a little bit.”
