Wheat decreased 17.24 USd/BU or 3.13% since the beginning of 2025, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Wheat - values, historical data, forecasts and news - updated on March of 2025.

The monthly price of wheat (hard red winter) in the United States reached an all time high in May 2022, at over 520 U.S. dollars per metric ton. The unprecedented price increase began in mid-2020, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and was later exacerbated by the Russo-Ukrainian War in March 2022. Before the war, Russia and Ukraine were among the world's five largest wheat exporters, and around one third of all international wheat imports came from these two countries.

The increase of 96 dollars per ton between February and March 2022 was the single largest price hike in U.S. history, and was only the second time that prices had exceeded 400 dollars - the first time this happened was due to the financial crisis of 2008. In the five years before the Covid-19 pandemic, the price of wheat generally fluctuated between 150 and 230 dollars per ton.

Prices are a fundamental component of exchange and have long been important to the functioning of agricultural markets. Grain prices are closely related to grain transportation, where the supply and demand for grain simultaneously determines both the price of grain, as well as the demand for grain transportation.

This data has corn, soybean, and wheat prices for a variety of locations. These include origins—such as Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and many others—and destinations, such as the Pacific Northwest, Louisiana Gulf, Texas Gulf, and Atlantic Coast.

The data come from three sources: USDA-AMS Market News price reports, GeoGrain, and U.S. Wheat Associates. Links are included below. GeoGrain offers granular data for purchase. The GeoGrain data here is an average of those granular prices for a given state (and the "Southeast" region, which combines Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama).

This is one of three companion datasets. The other two are grain basis (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/v85y-3hep) and grain price spreads (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/an4w-mnp7). These datasets are separate, because the coverage lengths differ and missing values are removed (e.g., there needs to be a cash price and a futures price to have a basis price).

Learn about current grain prices per bushel for corn, wheat, soybeans, and oats, and how they are impacted by weather conditions, export demand, and government policies affecting production and trade.

Corn decreased 3.39 USd/BU or 0.74% since the beginning of 2025, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Corn - values, historical data, forecasts and news - updated on March of 2025.

This statistic depicts the average annual prices for U.S. wheat (HRW) from 2014 through 2026*. In 2023, the average price for U.S. wheat (HRW) stood at 340 nominal U.S. dollars per metric ton.

Basis reflects both local and global supply and demand forces. It is calculated as the difference between the local cash price and the futures price. It affects when and where many grain producers and shippers buy and sell grain. Many factors affect basis—such as local supplies, storage and transportation availability, and global demand—and they interact in complex ways. How changes in basis manifest in transportation is likewise complex and not always direct. For instance, an increase in current demand will drive cash prices up relative to future prices, and increase basis. At the same time, grain will enter the transportation system to fulfill that demand. However, grain supplies also affect basis, but will have the opposite effect on transportation. During harvest, the increase in the supply of grain pushes down cash prices relative to futures prices, and basis weakens, but the demand for transportation increases to move the supplies.

For more information on how basis is linked to transportation, see the story, "Grain Prices, Basis, and Transportation" (https://agtransport.usda.gov/stories/s/sjmk-tkh6), and links below for research on the topic.

This data has corn, soybean, and wheat basis for a variety of locations. These include origins—such as Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and many others—and destinations, such as the Pacific Northwest, Louisiana Gulf, Texas Gulf, and Atlantic Coast.

This is one of three companion datasets. The other two are grain prices (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/g92w-8cn7) and grain price spreads (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/an4w-mnp7). These datasets are separate, because the coverage lengths differ and missing values are removed (e.g., there needs to be a cash price and a futures price to have a basis price).

The cash price comes from the grain prices dataset and the futures price comes from the appropriate futures market, which is Chicago Board of Trade (CME Group) for corn, soybeans, and soft red winter wheat; Kansas City Board of Trade (CME Group) for hard red winter wheat; and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange for hard red spring wheat.

Graph and download economic data for Producer Price Index by Commodity: Farm Products: Grains (WPU012) from Jan 1926 to Feb 2025 about grains, agriculture, commodities, PPI, inflation, price index, indexes, price, and USA.

The dataset contains daily price ranges calculated from the daily high and low prices for Chicago Wheat, Corn, and Oats futures contracts, starting in 1877. The data is manually extracted from the ``Annual Reports of the Trade and Commerce of Chicago'' (today, the Chicago Board of Trade, CBOT, which is part of the CME group).

The price range is calculated as Ranget = ln(Ht) - ln(Lt), where Ht and Lt are the highest and lowest price observed on trading day t.

In 2022, the average price of one bushel of corn was around 7.43 U.S. dollars. That year, the United States was the largest producer of corn in the world.

Wheat prices in Canada for Q1 2024 closed at 237 USD/MT. Canada's wheat market struggled with declining prices, impacted by a stronger Canadian dollar and rising shipping costs, making exports less competitive. High supply levels and reduced demand, both locally and globally, resulted in a bearish outlook and subdued market activity.

Several lines of research analyse grain price data of pre-industrial economies. We present the largest homogenous dataset of grain prices for four major types of grain for pre-industrial Germany covering 70 cities with a total of 259 time series. This article provides an overview of data sources and the methodology followed to create calendar-year-based price series in grams of silver per litre. The dataset is organised and documented decentrally by means of one excel file for each city. To aggregate information for all cities in one file, future users can either use spreadsheet software or open-source software code that creates the national-level file. We use the dataset to show how price dispersion developed across more than 300 years. The dataset facilitates future research on market integration, storage, historical demography, and economic impacts of climate change.

In this study, the development of the prices of grain, the staple food throughout Germany since the 17th century, is represented, starting from the end of the 18th century. This survey was carried out within the scope of a general historical examination on wholesale prices in Germany by the Reich Statistical Office (“Statistisches Reichsamt”) in cooperation with the German Institute for Economic Research (“Institut für Konjunkturforschung”). Since the records of prices for rye, wheat, barley, and oats available in the primary sources are incomplete as regards the whole length of the above-mentioned period, several values have been converted in order to make a comparison possible (conversion into German mark/Reichsmark per 1,000 kg). Furthermore, index numbers for the German grain prices have been calculated so that a continuous development becomes visible (base year: 1913 = 100). Apart from grain harvests and consumption in Germany since 1878/79, the study gives an overwiev of the foreign trade of rye, wheat, barley, and oats as well.
