WHEAT PRICE OUTLOOK• Record world-wide wheat production in both 2014
and 2015 have led to record high wheat stocks
• Strong dollar has hampered our ability to export
• The dollar has not been this strong relative to other currencies since 2003
• This makes our products more expensive for other countries
• 2015-16 exports are only 800 million bushels, which is the smallest export total in over 40 years
