Wheat...With the exception of white wheat, west coast wheat bids saw
cash prices regain some footing against the recent rebound across the
futures complex. Given relatively soft export demand and the current
crop prospects for the Pacific Northwest, exporters continue to work on
keeping white wheat offerings competitive.
Crop Progress...Winter wheat conditions remain exceptional for the
Pacific Northwest, with the three-state index holding steady at 108% of
average. Good to excellent ratings for Idaho gained 2% to 88%, Oregon
was steady at 64% and Washington held at 92%. Spring wheat plantings
for Idaho and Washington are both over the halfway point.
Shipments...Weekly export inspections showed a marked improvement
for wheat movement off U.S. ports last week, coming in nearly double
the prior week at 19 million bushels. Year-to-date shipments stand at
789 million bushels and 14% above a year ago. White wheat was the top
mover with 6.5 million bushels, followed by hard red winter with 4.9
million and red spring at 2.4 million. West coast exporters shipped
9.7 million bushels of wheat, mostly to The Philippines and Indonesia,
along with 22 million bushels of corn and 4.8 million of soybeans.
