The U.S. is Exporting Wheat at a Rapid Pace
Dec 18, 2025 | 2:34 PM
As the U.S. wheat market remains comfortable with current supply levels, Crossroads Co-op Regional Manager Brian Irey said the lack of export demand continues to limit any upside movement.
“Wheat is a very interesting commodity right at the moment. Our exports have just been extraordinary. I don’t want to say we’re going at a breakneck pace, but we’re exporting wheat at a pace where the USDA probably needs to add 100 million to exports at some point down the line, here. Our crop is in pretty good shape. The one that was planted this fall.”
Irey said most U.S. wheat states are in good shape when it comes to moisture, but global supply and demand pressures continue to weigh on the market.
“I think global implications are what are keeping a cap on the wheat market. Australia’s crop has gotten bigger. Argentina’s crop is in very good shape. And the Russian crop was bigger than anticipated, so I think we’re seeing a little bit of pressure on wheat from foreign countries, but we really can’t complain about the export pace and usage here in the U.S. I think we just have a lot of wheat stocks that we’ve got to get work through, and that’s keeping us capped on the wheat side here for the moment.”
