Commentary

10/16/24: Rain in the forecast, a neutral WASDE report and a robust row crop harvest all dragging the ag complex lower this week.  Since report day Friday HRW and DNS futures have lost 35-40 cents, corn 20-25 cents and SWW only a nickel despite Chicago futures dropping 30-35 cents.  Southern plains of the US showing good moisture over the next week, Russia 10-15 day showing rains and corn harvest sits at 47% complete.  The rains in Russia will help but are not a drought buster, weather patterns remain dry into November and the coverage isn’t spectacular over for the major wheat areas.  Noise remains out of Russia about setting price floors on exports and limiting exports back half of the year. Russia FOB offers remain in the $230s today but the conversation we have heard repeatedly the past few days is wanting to set a price floor around $250.  It appears the “suggestion” is that 12.5 pro floor should be $250, $245 for 11.5s and $240 for low protein.  Russian forecasts and their FOB pricing/Export limits will continue to drive US wheat prices.  This is a story that will play out over the next 6 months not in the immediate future.  Corn harvest at 47% complete is ahead of the 5-year pace and reports on yields remain big.  Soybean harvest at 67% complete ahead of 5-year pace and same story on big yield reports.  Winter wheat planting is 64% complete, right in line with average pace. By state Montana and Oklahoma are behind pace.  Montana is 68% planted compared to the 10-year average of 79%.  There is plenty of time for the producer to get it in, but worth monitoring here in the PNW as Montana HRW basis drives our HRW basis.
