WGC002 is a new wild grass-derived FHB-resistant spring wheat germplasm that can enhance and diversify FHB resistance of wheat. Learn all about it: https://ow.ly/OQ7m50R3z4C

Fond of spring and durum wheat in particular, wheat midge are born ready to destroy a crop through their appetite. Learn more about this exciting project that is working towards controlling wheat midge: https://ow.ly/67jK50R3OWV #WheatMidge #CropPests #WheatResearch #WheatCluster #CdnAg

There’s an old farmer adage that corn should be “knee high by the 4th of July.” However, due to improved crop genetics and other agronomical advancements, this motto is outdated by at least 25 years. This photo, taken by yours truly in southern Wisconsin earlier this week, shows a corn crop that is approximately 4 to 5 feet tall and in exceptionally good condition. Please keep in mind that this field received an excessive amount of rainfall and endured extremely high winds hours before this photo was taken (there were tornadoes within a few miles of this locale last Saturday night, and they were still taking care of nearby broken power lines/poles and fallen trees/branches when I was taking this photo). The corn market seems to be taking it in stride, as traders believe that a “bumper crop” is out in the fields. I tend to believe them. My thoughts and prayers do go out to those affected by these floods, especially since they have turned deadly.  PS: Sorry that this post has nothing to do with #metals, I just thought some of my other cohorts in commodities trading might appreciate it. – Chris #commodities #trading #markets #metals #economy #economics #hedgefunds #hedgefund #money #investing #investment #business #familyoffice #oil #energy #finance #stockmarket

The Durum wheat price moves slowly until it doesn’t. We look at the following: European Sitagri Durum Wheat Index (SEDWI) Klarenbach Durum Wheat Price Index (KPI) U.S. Durum Wheat Index (CDWI), formally DWY What is in store for Durum?

Day 1 of the Wheat Quality Council's Spring Wheat and Durum Tour concluded on Tuesday with a total weighted average yield estimate of 52.3 bushels per acre (bpa). Last year, the average weighted wheat yield estimate on Day 1 was 48.3 bpa. Field sampling occurred from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota, along eight predetermined routes that are followed year after year. An exception this year is that the northernmost tier of counties in South Dakota is being sampled. There were 96 fields of spring wheat, one durum and two hard red winter wheat fields sampled Tuesday with the spring wheat average yield on its own at 52.5 bpa. https://lnkd.in/gTKUW9b2

Eastern Europe’s Scorching Summer Damages Corn Prospects Scorching heat across eastern Europe and the Black Sea region is withering corn at a crucial time in the crop’s development, driving concerns of a supply squeeze. Temperatures have crossed 38C (100F) in Middle- and Eastern Europe —it is in the midst of a drought. The harsh weather comes as the crop is at a critical pollinating stage. The heat could prevent kernels forming or cause existing plants to shrivel. This supports the prices of the corn, sunflower and that of the wheat as well.

VEA Brokers Ltd, weekly grain market report, Dec 15, 2024 “Weather It was raining hard then freezing (a day before it was the coldest winter day with temps reached -10/-11C at night …in Odessa, (which is the south of Ukraine for those who are no friends with geography), and it is getting milder with +3/+5C at daytime and -2/-3C at night in the south of Ukraine and it is continuously raining over here. There is snow in the west and north and central parts of Ukraine. There is war and there are new – lightly-speaking “underdeveloped” legislation over recommended prices of agris that would surely stimulate new wave of corruption in this country, unless changed or waved shortly. As for crops – weather is close to ideal. Winter-kill will remain at some 5-7% as it normally happens, unless there will be no drama with very low temps holding for a week or two and no or insufficient snow cover. At the moment, the rooting system of winter grains receiving feed from the soil, thanks to rains and those who managed to fertile the winter grains on time, just strengthening their chances to have good quality and size of the crop next year. Rains, winds and storms have halted loadings in Greater Odessa ports (and Danube ports too) for majority of the week days, with armada of dry cargo vessels waited at roads for a chance to be berthed at not very safe environment. Storms at Black Sea remain strong starting October normally, developing throughout the winter months.”
