At the 2026 North American Millers Association annual meeting, speakers focused on resilience across the US economy and the wheat foods chain. The National Association of Wheat Growers said wheat growers have posted losses on a profit-per-acre basis in eight of the last nine years, excluding government payments, and wheat's share of US wheat, corn and soybean plantings fell below 20% in 2026.
Shrinking US wheat area and persistent grower losses from fertilizer and diesel costs point to tighter future US wheat supply, which is mildly supportive for wheat prices. The effect on near-term prices is limited.
