Wheat Market Outlook - July 31, 2023

According to the FAO-AMIS database, global 2023/2024 wheat production will come in at 783.3 million mt, 2.3 million mt smaller than last year’s.

Global domestic utilization of wheat will reach 782.7 million mt, just a fraction below total production.

Global ending stocks will increase fractionally by 920k mt to 313.9 million mt (311.1 million mt last crop year).

FOB wheat prices increased by $18-30/mt following the renunciation of the grain corridor in the Black Sea. Prices have eased again since as traders are trying to anticipate the logistic outfall from the latest events.

Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Video: Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Can supplemental nitrogen help soybeans reach higher yield potential? Technical Agronomist Tim Sickman walks through an ongoing trial at the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Owensboro, Kentucky, exploring whether a modest amount of nitrogen applied at planting can support higher-yielding soybean environments.

The trial compares 30 pounds of supplemental nitrogen across both 15- and 30-inch rows, along with treatments that include sulfur and micronutrients. Similar trials conducted in 2024 and 2025 delivered a six- to seven-bushel yield response, prompting the team to expand the research this season.

Early observations show that treated soybeans are slightly taller and averaging about two additional nodes on the main stem. These added nodes could create more opportunities for blooms and pods, but the true results will come at harvest when the team evaluates pod development, seed fill and final yield.
