3-27 FB Why Attend

  Want to figure out what to plant this spring? An archived webinar from the Idaho Wheat Commission might help.Yesterday I talked with Executive Director of the Idaho Wheat Commission, Blaine Jacobson  about a webinar presented by Vince Peterson, Vice President of Overseas Operations for U.S. Wheat Associates and I learned that there is some pretty valuable information being presented. “You tune into the webinar and it gives you a leg up on what you should be doing with your crop right? Yes.  He will give you a great overview of the supply and demand picture and he breaks it down by region and by country. You can see Canada, Argentina, Australia, the Black Sea area, you will see the production and the weather in all of those. He will talk the relationship between the bond and supply of wheat that we have right now against the demand that corn is causing. Corn is having a big impact on the wheat market. Corn is pulling wheat prices up and the supply is trying to pull them down. The upward pressure is winning right now. Vince will walk us through those dynamics.” These webinars are all archived on the Idahowheat.org website.
