    Winter's Bite: How Arctic Temps Are Heating Up Wheat Markets in the Midwest

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey everyone, this is Vanessa Clark and you are listening to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Welcome back to the show. I'm so glad you decided to tune in today because we have got some really exciting developments happening in the wheat market right now, and honestly, I think you are going to want to hear what is going on.

    So let's jump right in. As of today, March wheat futures are trading at five dollars and thirty cents and a half per bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. That is up about two point nine percent, and that represents a really significant move. If you have been following along with us, you know that wheat has been under a lot of pressure lately, but that is completely changing as we head into the weekend.

    Here is what is driving this rally. We are looking at a massive winter storm that is moving across the Midwest right now. We are talking about Winter Storm Fern bringing one to two feet of snow along with brutally cold temperatures. Now you might be thinking, why does snow actually make wheat prices go up? Well, that is the really interesting part of this story.

    You see, the concern in the market right now is something called winterkill. This is where wheat plants that are dormant actually die because of extreme cold temperatures. And here is the problem: in many parts of the wheat belt, there is very little snow cover right now. Snow acts as an insulator for the wheat, so when you have extreme cold without adequate snow protection, farmers are genuinely worried about losing significant portions of their crop.

    This is especially concerning in critical wheat growing areas like northern Illinois and Iowa, where wind chills are expected to plunge to minus thirty five degrees Fahrenheit. At the same time, we are also seeing similar freezing conditions developing in Russia and the Black Sea region, which is one of the world's largest wheat export areas. Temperatures there are dropping to minus twenty five to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

    The market had actually been very comfortable with global wheat supplies just a few weeks ago. But this sudden weather threat has completely changed the equation. What we are seeing is something called short covering, where traders who had bet on lower prices are now scrambling to close out those positions before the weather damage becomes clearer.

    Here is what this means for you as a listener. If you are involved in wheat farming, livestock production, or food processing, you are going to want to keep a very close eye on the weather reports over the next week or so. The true extent of any winterkill damage will not be clear until spring when the wheat emerges from dormancy.

    The consensus among market analysts is that we could see wheat prices move even higher if another arctic wave hits without preceding snowfall. Some traders are even talking about potential rallies toward five fifty to six hundred cents per bushel if conditions deteriorate further.

    For now, the market remains extremely focused on weather maps, snow forecasts, and temperature outlooks. This is a classic case of weather premium taking over the market, and it is a good reminder that global food security remains vulnerable to climate shocks, even in years when we have abundant global supplies.

  • Vanessa Clark: Cold Snap Sends Wheat Up as Plains Brace for Winterkill Risk

    Vanessa Clark: Cold Snap Sends Wheat Up as Plains Brace for Winterkill Risk
    Jan 22 2026

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im your host Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on wheat prices, market moves, and what it all means for you.

    Right now, the Chicago Board of Trade March wheat futures are closing strong at five dollars and fifteen cents per bushel, up eight cents from yesterday. Thats according to the latest from CK News Today and GX94 Radio reports. Minneapolis spring wheat is at five dollars seventy-three per bushel, up ten cents, while Kansas City hard red winter wheat sits at five dollars twenty-five per bushel, up six cents. Over in Canada, Bunge Moose Jaw Terminal has one red spring wheat opening at two hundred fifty-seven dollars and forty cents per tonne, up two dollars and seventy-four cents, and feed wheat at one hundred sixty-nine dollars and fifty-eight cents.

    What is driving this uptick? Bitter cold is sweeping the US Plains, with temperatures way below normal for the next ten days, raising winterkill worries for winter wheat crops, as noted by Morningstar and GrainsPrices. Snow might help protect some fields, but exposed areas are at risk. Plus, USDA confirmed some export sales, and traders are eyeing Fridays delayed export report. Globally, Russias crop estimate holds steady at eighty-three point eight million metric tons, per Nasdaq, keeping ample supply in check but not crushing prices.

    For you farmers and buyers, heres your takeaway: watch that cold snap closely, as it could add a risk premium to prices short-term. If youre locking in sales, consider hedging now while momentum is positive, but stay alert to global supply from Russia and South America.

    Thats your wheat update, folks. Thanks for tuning in, best friend style. Subscribe, share, and catch you next time on Daily Wheat Price Tracker!

  • Mixed Kernels: Export Demand Battles Abundant Supply as Arctic Blast Looms Over Plains

    Mixed Kernels: Export Demand Battles Abundant Supply as Arctic Blast Looms Over Plains
    Jan 21 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Wheat Price Tracker with me, Vanessa Clark. I'm so glad you tuned in today because we've got some important wheat market updates to share with you.

    Let's jump right into what happened with wheat prices today. Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures for March closed down two and a half cents, settling at five dollars and seven and three quarter cents per bushel. If you're tracking Kansas City wheat, that contract finished down three and a quarter cents at five dollars and nineteen and three quarter cents. And for those of you following Minneapolis wheat, we saw an interesting move there with March finishing up one and three quarter cents at five dollars and sixty three and three quarter cents per bushel.

    Now, what's driving these mixed movements? Well, there's a lot happening in the global wheat market right now. Strong export activity is supporting prices in some areas, but broader market headwinds are keeping a lid on any major rallies. We're seeing international tenders from major buyers like Saudi Arabia and Algeria picking up significant volumes, which shows there's genuine demand out there. But here's the thing that's weighing on the market: global wheat stocks remain elevated, Russian export supplies are competitive, and Black Sea availability is keeping pressure on prices. It's a bit of a tug of war between buyers wanting wheat and sellers having plenty of supply to choose from.

    On the cash market side, if you're dealing with Canadian grain, Red Spring Wheat from Bunge's Moose Jaw Terminal closed at two hundred fifty four dollars and sixty six cents, down fifty four cents from this morning's opening price of two hundred fifty five dollars and twenty cents.

    Weather is also playing a role here. We're tracking some extreme cold developing across the Black Sea region, and a significant arctic front is expected to sweep through the US Plains later this week. That kind of cold weather can create winterkill risk for wheat, which could provide some support to prices, but we'll have to watch how that develops.

    The bottom line for today: wheat markets are showing volatility as traders balance strong export demand against abundant global supplies. If you're making decisions about your wheat, keep an eye on those weather forecasts and global tender activity.

    Thanks so much for listening to Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's market update. Until next time, keep watching those wheat prices.

  • Vanessa Clark: Wall of Wheat Weighs on Markets as Global Harvest Hits Record High

    Vanessa Clark: Wall of Wheat Weighs on Markets as Global Harvest Hits Record High
    Jan 20 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey there, I'm Vanessa Clark, and welcome back to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Today we're diving into what's happening in the wheat markets, and honestly, there's quite a bit to unpack.

    Let's start with where wheat is trading right now. As of today, March wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade closed at five dollars and ten and a quarter cents per bushel, down seven and three quarter cents. Over in Kansas City, the hard red winter wheat contract settled at five dollars and twenty three cents, down four and a quarter cents. And if you're following spring wheat up in Minneapolis, that's sitting at five dollars and sixty two cents, down three cents. So across the board, we're seeing some downward pressure today.

    Now, why is this happening? Well, there are a few things going on. First, we're dealing with what analysts are calling a wall of wheat. According to recent market analysis, global wheat production hit a record eight hundred forty two million metric tons. That's a lot of supply sitting out there. Russia alone has announced an export quota of twenty million metric tons for the period starting February fifteenth through June thirtieth. Argentina just wrapped up harvesting a record crop estimated between twenty seven point five and twenty seven point eight million metric tons. That's historic production from the Southern Hemisphere.

    On top of massive global supply, we're also seeing some geopolitical headwinds affecting sentiment. There's trade tension between the United States and the European Union that's creating some uncertainty in the markets and pulling money away from commodities and into other assets.

    But here's where it gets interesting. Despite all this bearish news, wheat prices have actually shown some resilience. Traders are starting to look past the current oversupply and thinking about potential risks coming in the next growing season. We did see some export demand pop up last week when Saudi Arabia and Algeria booked sizable wheat volumes through recent tenders, but that's been tempered by the reality of how much cheap wheat is available globally, especially from the Black Sea region.

    For folks watching this market, the key thing to understand is that we're in a period of price stability after some volatility. March wheat futures are likely to trade in a range between about five dollars and ten cents and five dollars and thirty six cents as we move through this week, at least based on current support and resistance levels.

    The takeaway here is that while production records are hitting the headlines, the market has already digested most of that news. What traders are really watching now is what happens with export flows and whether any weather issues emerge that could tighten supply down the road.

    That's what you need to know about wheat today. Thanks so much for tuning in to the Daily Wheat Price Tracker. Be sure to subscribe and tune in tomorrow for another update on where these markets are headed. See you next time.

  • Bushels and Borders: Why Record Crops Aren't Spiking Your Grain Prices

    Bushels and Borders: Why Record Crops Aren't Spiking Your Grain Prices
    Jan 19 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Wheat Price Tracker with me, Vanessa Clark. Today, were diving into the latest on wheat prices, global supply trends, and what it all means for you.

    First up, the current trading price. According to Trading Economics, wheat hit 518 US cents per bushel today, up a tiny bit from yesterday but still down about four percent from a year ago. Over in Canada, Bunge's Moose Jaw Terminal opened one red spring wheat at 250 dollars per tonne, down 83 cents, and closed at 249.91, off another 18 cents. CBOT March wheat settled higher at 5.18 per bushel on global export optimism, per Hellenic Shipping News. UK feed wheat futures for May held steady at 169 pounds per tonne, says the AHDB Arable Market Report.

    The big story is ample global supply keeping a lid on prices. The USDA boosted 2025-26 world wheat production to a record 842 million tonnes, with huge jumps in Argentina at 27.5 million tonnes and Russia at 89.5 million, pushing ending stocks to 278 million tonnes. Euronext milling wheat dipped to 190 euros per tonne on that news, as Mintec Global reports. IGC agrees, forecasting record wheat output up five percent year-over-year.

    But hey, not all doom—Saudi Arabia just bought nearly a million tonnes of wheat, sparking some importer activity. Weather watches continue, with dry US Plains and frosty Ukraine in play.

    Actionable tip: If youre a farmer or buyer, watch export tenders and basis levels closely—Ontario SRW wheat bids around 6.61 bucks now, better than last summer. Dont rush sales; negativity might be priced in, and a weaker Canadian dollar helps cash prices.

    Thanks for tuning in, pals—subscribe, share with your ag buddies, and catch you next time on Daily Wheat Price Tracker!

  • Winter Wheat Worries: Cold Snaps and Export Gaps Push Prices Higher

    Winter Wheat Worries: Cold Snaps and Export Gaps Push Prices Higher
    Jan 16 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome to another episode of Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im your host Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on wheat prices, global supply shakes, and what it all means for you.

    Right now, March wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade are sitting at about five dollars eighteen cents per bushel, up one point five percent from yesterday according to Dow Jones Newswires and ProFarmer reports. Thats a nice bounce after Mondays WASDE report showed higher US supplies, sparking bargain hunting by global importers who love a good deal on cheaper exports. Trading Economics pegs it around five hundred eighteen dollars and seventy seven cents per bushel too, with a one point six two percent daily gain.

    But heres the exciting part: weather is stealing the show. US winter wheat in the central plains is hunkering down without much snow cover, and bitter cold ahead could spell trouble, as Brian Hoops from Midwest Market Solutions notes. Over in the Black Sea region, a deep freeze is hitting Russia and Ukraine hard, with winterkill risks pushing down Russias twenty twenty six estimates to eighty five point five million metric tons. Times Online says this could rally milling wheat futures fifteen to twenty percent if it persists. Plus, war risk insurance for shipping has doubled, and EUs new tariffs are rerouting Russian wheat to Asia and Africa at discounts.

    What does this mean for you? If youre a farmer, watch those weather apps closely and consider locking in sales now while buyers are active. Investors, keep an eye on spring thaw updates, Black Sea exports, and Chinas rail deals with Russia, as AgResource highlights Mother Nature as the big decider for twenty twenty six balances.

  • Wheat Prices Hold Steady as Global Harvest Forecast Hits Record High - What It Means for Your Bottom Line

    Wheat Prices Hold Steady as Global Harvest Forecast Hits Record High - What It Means for Your Bottom Line
    Jan 15 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on wheat prices, global forecasts, and what it all means for you.

    First up, the current trading price. According to Trading Economics, wheat is at 510.75 US dollars per bushel as of today, down just a touch from yesterday but holding steady overall. In Canada, Great Lakes Grain reports Soft Red Winter wheat cash bids ranging from 6.53 to 6.93 Canadian dollars per bushel for January delivery across Ontario spots like Aylmer and Chatham. Hard Red Spring wheat is sitting at 7.80 in places like Beeton. And from Bunge in Moose Jaw, Feed Wheat is steady at 169.58, while 1 Red Spring Wheat closed at 249.65, down a bit.

    Big news on the global front: the International Grains Council just bumped their 2025-26 world grains forecast to a record 2.461 billion metric tons, with wheat production up to 842 million tons thanks to stronger outlooks in Argentina at 27.7 million tons and Canada at 40 million. That means more supply, which could keep prices in check amid ample stocks.

    What does this mean for you? If youre a farmer, watch those regional bids and consider locking in now if youre holding inventory, especially with futures like March wheat at 5.10. Buyers, this might be a good window for forward contracts before any weather wildcards hit. Stay nimble, check local elevators daily, and diversify your hedges.

    Wheat Watch: Five Dollar Floor Holds as Export Hopes Rise with Vanessa Clark
    Jan 14 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome to another episode of Daily Wheat Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im your host Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on wheat prices, market moves, and what it all means for you.

    Right now, wheat futures are sitting around five dollars and eleven cents a bushel for Chicago contracts, up just a penny from yesterday according to Medialogic Radios Three Big Things report. Kansas City futures are at about five dollars nineteen cents, down a quarter cent. Trading Economics notes it hit five hundred eleven point seven five U.S. dollars per bushel today, a tiny zero point two four percent bump, though prices have dipped over the past month amid bigger U.S. and global supplies.

    US wheat ending stocks are up eight percent to nine hundred twenty six million bushels per the USDA, with record crops in Argentina and Russia adding pressure. But hey, brighter spots too. U.S. wheat exports are picking up steam in early two thousand twenty six, with Nigeria topping buyers for hard red winter wheat last October, per Evri Magaci. Kansas Wheat CEO Just Gilpin sees demand possibly rebounding this winter into spring as quality edges out bigger global crops. Russia plans three to three point four million tons of exports this January, boosting supply but highlighting competitive U.S. opportunities.

    For you farmers, traders, or bakers watching prices, heres your takeaway: keep an eye on export sales to places like Southeast Asia and diversify buyers to ride out oversupply. If youre hedging, support levels around five dollars hold firm for now, per AgMarket dot net.

    Thats your daily wheat update, friends. Thanks for tuning in, subscribe so you never miss a price swing, and catch you next time. Stay savvy out there.
