# Abundant stocks to influence grain outlook | The Western Producer

> The Western Producer analyst Bruce Burnett says the 2026 grain outlook is not much better than 2025, with nearby wheat futures near contract lows and a burdensome carryout expected. He expects prices to firm early in 2026 but sees no fireworks, and notes U.S. corn acres are forecast to fall to 95 million from 98.7 million.
