Kansas Wheat

[danny W1M]

That's what seems to be the biggest concern of posters on U.S. sites from the Midwest, The damage already being done to the crops, corn and beans that are in the ground, is the LOSS of YEILD already happening due to cold soil temps. Not from flooding, although there is some, it's mostly about yield loss due to cold ground. That forecast won't be good.
Soil temps must be critical for the future yield potential. We don't seem to worry about that so much with wheat.

The loss of crop is one part of the calculation. The other part is that there may be business brought forward to secure supply. Ending stocks levels may be much lower.
Ending stocks of HRW were up 4 million tonnes year over year. Could they be down 4 million in one year?
