U.S. Millers Weigh in on Drought Effects. Reuters reports that millers and bakers are draining wheat reserves and paying more for spring wheat used in baking, as drought shrivels crops across the Canadian Prairies and northern U.S. Plains that produce more than half of the world’s world’s supply. While overall global wheat stocks are large, the drought affects mainly the high-protein spring wheat crop that millers such as Archer Daniels Midland Co (ADM.N) and bakers, including Grupo Bimbo (BIMBOA.MX), rely on to produce the texture and moistness in baked goods that consumers expect.
