Hard red winter wheat basis bids were flat across the southern Plains on July 10 as futures rallied and some farmers sold grain. KC September wheat rose more than 3% to $6.75 per bushel after Russia temporarily halted shipping through the Don-Azov channel.
USDA pegged 2026-27 US wheat production at 1.536 billion bushels, with HRW output at 471 million bushels, down from 497 million in June.
