Bob Linneman, Kluis Advisors, says that wheat is signaling an acreage battle in 2022.
“Global wheat prices are surging. A lot more wheat will be planted all over the world for the 2022 harvest. This sets up a very interesting acreage battle in the U.S. next spring,” Linneman stated in a note to customers.
Linneman added, “I am watching the November 2021 to January 2022 soybean spread. This spread widened out to 14¢ because of large deliveries against the November contract last week. On Monday, the spread closed at just 9¢. If the spread continues to narrow, then that is a bullish signal for soybeans.”
