Afternoon Grain Comments 8-14-2026 – Another day and more of the same in the Black Sea Region driving the wheat prices. Prices surged today amid Ukraine and Russia continuing to go after civilian targets a day after it was leaked there was a proposal by Ukraine for a moratorium on said targets. Ukraine attacked the Baltic port of Ust-Luga as Russia continues operations against Ukraine as well. Shipping out of the region has become such a threat Stone X Market Intelligence stated this afternoon, “Ukraine plans on securing 11 mmt of temporary storage bags to hold grain on-farm until the shipping disruptions are solved.” The article continued, “A combined 35 mmt of wheat and coarse grains could be held off the market, and other major exporters will have to fill the void in the interim.” Corn prices were up as well following the news from Ukraine and speculation about the state of the western corn belt. Heavy rains in the corn belt could lead to regional flooding. This could be a net positive but Stone X stated, “the reaction to extremes is usually to buy the event and sell the results later!” Beans were also up with the forecasted rains to accumulate up to 2.5 times one month’s summer total in a band from the Dakotas to the Ohio but there is still a debate about the net effect on US yields as a whole. At the close today Kansas City September wheat close up 30 cent, Chicago September corn was up 11 cents while Chicago November beans also closed up 11 cents. Have a great weekend!
