USW Market and Crop Information Reports Provide Valuable, Timely Information

U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) is committed to helping customers get the wheat they want at the best value possible by providing critical market and crop information throughout the year. USW works closely with a network of traders, extension specialists, market contacts, USDA staff and, of course, our colleagues in overseas offices to analyze and update these resources regularly.

USW is well into its 2024 Harvest Report published every Friday afternoon during each season with updates and comments on harvest progress, crop conditions and current crop quality for HRW, SRW, HRS, SW and durum wheat. Harvest Report is also a key component of USW’s international technical and marketing programs. It is a resource that helps customers understand how the crop situation may affect basis values and export prices. USW’s overseas offices share the report with their market contacts and use it as a key resource in meetings and for answering inquiries. Several USW offices publish the report in the local language. Catch up on the progress of the 2024/25 crop at www.uswheat.org/harvest.

Market Information Resources

Every Friday, USW Market Analyst Tyllor Ledford compiles information from market sources, including exporters of all U.S. wheat classes from various U.S. ports, to publish the Price Report. The prices represent the value of number two grade and the proteins indicated. The report includes FOB and futures prices by class, as well as ocean freight and currency exchange rates. View the Price Report at www.uswheat.org/prices.

Each Thursday, USW releases a Commercial Sales Report that documents sales-to-date for the current marketing year compared to the previous marketing year at the same date. The report sources data from the Weekly Export Sales report published by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. View this report at www.uswheat.org/commercialSales.

Once a month, USW updates a graphic summary of USDA’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Report and additional market information. The report summarizes factors affecting the global wheat market, historic information for all major wheat exporting countries and regions, and a by-class summary of U.S. wheat supply and demand. The data may be used without permission, but attribution to USW and USDA is appreciated. View this report at www.uswheat.org/supplyDemand.

In addition to USW’s market data reports, USW publishes this Wheat Letter blog and monthly e-newsletter. It features coverage on market analysis and crop updates, trade policy, export promotion activities and other general wheat industry news. Read the latest issue of Wheat Letter at www.uswheat.org/wheatLetter.
