Winter wheat crops in Europe and the UK are reported in good shape, with Russia's crop improved after decent January-February rain cut poor-condition ratings from 22% to 8%. The European Commission forecasts EU production of 134.3 million tonnes, nine million above last year, while dryness concerns persist in one key region.
Improved EU and Russian wheat prospects add supply that weighs on export prices, though lingering dryness in a key region limits the bearish move.
