WASDE: Endings stocks of U.S. wheat for Current Year Projected 10 million Bushels Higher

Apr 12, 2016

U.S. wheat endings stocks for 2015/16 are projected 10 million bushels higher on reduced feed and residual use. At 976 million bushels, these would be the largest ending stocks since 1987. The reduced feed and residual use reflects lower disappearance during the December-February and September-November quarters as indicated by March 1 stocks and revised December 1 stocks, both from the March 31 Grain Stocks report. The projected season-average farm price is lowered $0.10 on the

high end to $4.90 to $5.00.

Global 2015/16 wheat supplies are raised 1.0 million tons primarily on increased production, which is a record 733.1 million tons. EU production is raised 1.5 million tons to a record 160.0 million, and Argentina is raised 0.3 million tons to 11.3 million, both on updated government data. Partially offsetting are a 0.6-million-ton reduction for Ethiopia, and a 0.4-million-ton reduction for Pakistan. World exports are raised 0.4 million tons to 163.1 million. World wheat consumption for 2015/16 is lowered 0.7 million tons on both reduced feed and food use. With supplies rising and use declining, global ending stocks are raised 1.7 million tons to 239.3 million, and remain record large.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
