  • November 20: No changes.
  • November 19: Wheat producers: Extend 2025-crop sales, 2026-crop sales... The uptrend in wheat futures has stalled out and prices are in a precarious position as bulls face fundamental headwinds. Both the U.S. and world balance sheets are seen rising with ample production and ending stocks. We advise all wheat producers to sell another 20% of 2025-crop to get to 50% sold in the cash market. We also advise selling another 10% of expected 2026-crop production for harvest delivery next year, to get to 20% forward sold.

*Note: Check below daily to see if we recommend catch-up sales for individual markets.
