U.S. wheat exports jumped quickly following the Russian drought and grain export ban and continued growing as weather problems hurt the Canadian, German and Australian crops. Armed with information from USW, importers knew they could rely on U.S. wheat producers to meet their needs in 2010/11.

Public-Private Partnership
| |
 | While U.S. farmers produce wheat of the highest quality, only about 50 percent of each year’s crop is consumed here at home. As a result, developing and growing U.S. wheat exports has a direct impact on farm gate prices. Through MAP and FMD, the federal government shares costs with U.S. farmers to help them compete in a growing global market.
