Pinpointing Policy: Paying Wheat Farmers for Protein

3/7/2025

Protein is a key quality factor in wheat, influencing both baking performance and market value. While protein premiums exist, many farmers miss out on them because elevators often do not share protein data or compensate accordingly. Kansas Farm Bureau’s Wheat Advisory Committee is addressing this issue by advocating for policies that require grain merchandisers to measure and report wheat protein levels at delivery. Providing this data would empower farmers to make informed decisions about storage, marketing and potential premiums, ultimately benefiting both producers and the overall quality of Kansas wheat.

Postharvest wheat pricing decisions

4/21/2025

Despite forecasted drought, Kansas wheat conditions are currently strong, with 51 percent rated good or excellent — better than last year and the five-year average. While futures prices remain near contract lows, historical trends suggest prices often improve in May and June, making it a good time to begin postharvest marketing plans.

Grain Sorghum and Corn Basis Trends in 2025

4/3/2025

So far in 2025, feedgrain basis is running weaker than average, with grain sorghum basis significantly weaker. This trend reduces the value of stored grain and could impact the effectiveness of futures-based marketing, forward contracts and crop insurance price coverage. New crop basis projections suggest continued weakness, particularly for grain sorghum in central Kansas, largely due to export demand uncertainty. If exports remain low, especially to China, grain sorghum basis could stay well below the five-year average, affecting producer revenues and risk management strategies.
