WASHINGTON — U.S. wheat carryover on June 1, 2013, was projected at 716 million bus, up 25 million bus, or about 4%, from 691 million bus as the February projection due to a projected 25-million-bu decrease in 2012-13 exports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.

“Continuing strong competition, particularly from EU-27 and FSU-12, further reduce prospects for U.S. wheat shipments,” the U.S.D.A. said. “Projected exports for hard red winter wheat are lowered 25 million bus.” The U.S.D.A. also lowered projected white wheat exports by 10 million bus and hard red spring by 5 million bus, but raised soft red winter exports by 15 million bus.
