NAMA Panel Predicts Increase For Soft Red Winter and Soft White Winter Wheat Crops
A North American Millers' Association (NAMA) five-member panel of soft wheat analysts predicted an increase for this year's soft red winter (SRW) wheat crop as well as an increase in the soft white (SW) winter crop, with good growing conditions and yields being listed as chief reasons.
The panelists' reports were given at the close of NAMA's three-day (April 16, 19, and 20) virtual spring conference.
The panel predicted 2021 SRW wheat crop production of 332,701,000 bushels, a 25% increase from 2020's crop of 266,235,000 bushels. This is an increase of 66,466,000 bushels from last year's total.
In its report, the panel also projected the 2021 SW crop to increase by 7% from last year, for a total of 249,479,000 bushels. This is an increase of 15,511,000 bushels from 2020's total of 233,968,000 bushels.
