I’m friends with a miller and he’s been having lots of trouble getting grains to the point where he is alarmed about it. He only does organic though but he said even the big corporate sources are turning up empty. Worth noting because he said he’s never seen anything like this
To come back to this lowest expected wheat yield since the 70s and lowest planted acreage since 1917
Interesting, I looked it up and it seems to have come from a perfect storm of winter wheat crops being damaged by frost events along with persistent drought conditions especially in prairie states like NE and KS.
Anecdotally it seems that the grassland areas of interior USA are getting more frequent and persistent droughts. The early 2020s were bone dry every summer.
