Australia and Argentina produce about 6% of world wheat but are projected to export 15% of world wheat exports, and their harvests are the most likely to influence US wheat prices. The August WASDE projects a 2024/25 US average farm price of $5.70/bu, while current cash prices in Oklahoma and Texas are well below that level.
Southern Hemisphere supply will compete directly with US HRW exports in the fall, so a large Australian or Argentine crop would add downward pressure on US wheat values.
