Grower report
Lindsborg, KS grower Karl Esping has just started to harvest. He experienced no disease issues this year and only sprayed for head moth. He says they received above average rainfall in late August and September which was very beneficial for his double crop sunflowers that were planted in June.

Nearby NuSun and high oleic prices at the crush plants were unchanged to up 20 cents. Overall, NuSun and high oleic prices continue to trade 50 cents to $1.05 per cwt. higher than the 60-day moving average at the crush plants. 2022 new crop was unchanged to up 20 cents this week. USDA released its latest supply and demand reports this week. USDA lowered soybean yield resulting in a 23 million bushel drop in production for 2021-22 to 4.425 billion bushels. However, ending stocks were raised from last month by 20 million bushels to 340 million bushels, largely because of a 40 million bushel cut in exports. The export reduction reflected reduced global imports and lower than expected shipments through October. The big debate now among traders will be whether USDA needs to cut exports even more in upcoming reports because of the slow pace of exports to China as their demand has slowed down and they are buying beans from Brazil rather than the U.S. Two rain/snow events slowed harvest in the past week. Despite the weather sunflower producers did make good harvest progress. Harvest progress advanced 13% to 84% complete for the week ending November 14. Harvest progress remains 9% ahead of the five-year average. In the past week, producers harvested an additional 147,000 acres pushing 2021 harvested acres to about 961,000 acres. Harvest progress remains about equal to the five-year average. Last year at this same time about 87% of acres were harvested.
