The USDA notes that increased rainfall has significantly improved crop development this season, with vegetation response much higher than average. The satellite-based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicates a strong yield potential?
The USDA’s marketing year for wheat differs from the calendar year. For wheat from Kazakhstan, the marketing year is from September of the current year to August of the following year.
