[grrrr]

Will these cold temperatures do any damage?

Not much yet but a cold snap around the 18th of April all way to Texas and we have game.

There are some nervous wheat farmers on agtalk, let me tell you. Thing is, the wheat is way more advanced than usual this year.

Exactly - most wheat is 3 weeks ahead in growth stage .

[Rareearth]

For all the cycles out there, a significant USA spring frost/winter kill event is way over due

Will be interesting to watch , temps have been into the 70's and even 80's . Lots of jointed wheat.
Almost as tough as caragana's though.

Some very cool temperatures but the winter wheat crop in the U.S.A. Seems to have 9 lives.

Interesting to see if KC wheat gets a bump on Monday.

I was reading that there are some droughty areas and that may have a greater impact than a cold snap?

[malleefarmer]

us wheat crop always has nine lives and seems it never uses them all its a big place with even bigger production, but hey could be the so called black swan event market need be ready to pounce guys

[SASKFARMER3]

Yep that is one tough crop. But the best killer happened on the late Easter weekend years ago that they said never did damage but by time the combines hit the field the reports started to come out and shit hit the fan by January.

I still think we should see a bit of a bounce from this. It can't be good for their wheat to be this cold.

MARCH 21 19:00-20:00

KC CME wheat up about 6ish cents.

MGEX wheat also up.... 3.6 - 6 cents

I hope it keeps going up over the next while...

[wmoebis]

6 cents! I'm sure the grain Co's will absorb that to help cover risk.

I've noticed they already played with the basis before this. What? Strong dollar?
