see a bigger differential of wheat versus corn over a sustained period of time to keep that wheat acreage up to meet that demand, and the market will work to make that happen. “Never underestimate the abilities of farmers to respond to a price incentive. The positive news is the demand will be there. We’re coming off the three largest wheat production years ever in the world and yet our stocks are getting exceedingly tight. Sure there were some production problems (last year), but this is very much unlike 2008, which was very much a supply-driven spike in prices. This one is looking like it is demand driven, which makes it more lasting. I think this study backs that up to a degree in that total demand is going to increase and the trade level is going to grow quite dramatically.” THE ROLE OF BIOTECH With the amount of arable land limited in the major wheat producing countries, one obvious way to increase production
