Wheat...The surge across the futures complex moved west coast white

to Chicago being somewhat defensive. Nearby basis held firm on protein

to-date commitments at 233 million bushels. Sales now stand 17% better
that a year ago and 20% above the five-year average pace. Red spring
was the top seller with 7.7 million bushels and with 65 million on the
books, sets 5% behind a year ago but 8% above average. Hard red winter
garnered 4.7 million bushels to put commitments at 90 million bushels,
which is 97% ahead of a year ago, 63% above average and the best start
since 2019/20. White wheat sold 2.1 million bushels to put commitments
at 33 million bushels, which is 30% below a year ago and 16% below the
five-year average pace.
