EU running low on high protein spring wheat

Oct 13, 2023

The market fundamentals for spring wheat are bullish, says an analyst.

“I think you’re probably going to be looking at better pricing opportunities here in the future,” said MarketsFarm analyst Bruce Burnett.

Strong demand combined with supply problems in key export markets would suggest the crop is undervalued.

Minneapolis spring wheat December futures have tumbled by more than US$2 per bushel between mid-summer and early fall. That doesn’t make much sense to him.

“Are the current futures undervalued? Yes, I think they are,” said Burnett.

Mercantile Consulting Venture said in a recent article written for the Saskatchewan Development Commission that one key market is seeing a shortage of high protein spring wheat.

Video: Turning Better Feed Into Better Herds: Innovation in Forage Harvesting

What happens when a dairy farmer gets frustrated with equipment that isn’t doing its job? In this episode, we sit down with Horning Manufacturing founder Leon Horning to hear how a problem in the feed bunk led to a globally recognized forage equipment company.

Born out of a third-generation dairy operation in Pennsylvania, Horning Manufacturing started with one goal: helping cows get more nutrition from silage. Leon shares how his father, Leon Sr., built the first kernel processor rolls in the family farm shop after seeing whole corn kernels pass through cows undigested — costing valuable feed efficiency and milk production.

We explore the company’s journey from a side project on the farm to an international manufacturer serving dairy farmers, beef operators, and custom harvesters around the world. Along the way, Leon discusses the evolution of pull-type forage harvesters, the engineering behind Horning’s “plug-and-play” kernel processor kits, and why reducing downtime during harvest can make or break a season.

The conversation also dives into Horning’s row-independent corn heads, practical equipment design, real-world customer stories, and how innovations born in the field continue to shape the company today.

Whether you’re a producer, equipment enthusiast, or simply love stories of grassroots innovation, this episode offers a fascinating look at how one farm family turned necessity into industry-changing technology.
