WASHINGTON — In the first forecast for the 2015-16 marketing year, the carryover of U.S. wheat on June 1, 2016, was projected at 793 million bus, up 84 million bus, or 12%, from the current year estimate of 709 million bus, which was raised 25 million bus, or 4%, from the April estimate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its May 12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.

The U.S.D.A. 2015-16 all wheat carryover number was well above the average trade expectation of 727 million bus, and the 2014-15 carryover also was above the trade average of 689 million bus. Projected 2015-16 ending stocks would be the highest since 2010-11 if realized, the U.S.D.A. said.

For 2014-15 wheat imports were revised up 5 million bus from April, to 150 million bus, and exports were revised down 20 million bus, to 860 million bus, resulting in a 25-million-bus boost in 2015 carryover.

Total wheat supply in 2015-16 was projected at 2,937 million bus, up 171 million bus, or 6%, from 2,766 million bus in 2014-15. The U.S.D.A. projected 2015 U.S. all wheat production at 2,087 million bus, up 3% from 2,026 million bus in 2014, based on harvested area projected at 48 million acres, up 3% from 46.4 million, and yield at 43.5 bus an acre, down slightly from 43.7 bus last year. U.S. wheat imports were projected at 140 million bus, down 10 million bus from 2014-15.

Total 2015-16 domestic wheat use was projected at 1,219 million bus, up 22 million bus, or 2%, from 1,197 million bus in 2014-15 based on higher exports, food use and feed and residual use. Wheat used for food in 2015-16 was projected at 967 million bus, up 1% from 960 million bus in 2014-15, and seed use at 72 million bus, down 6% from 77 million bus. Feed and residual use in 2015-16 was projected at 180 million bus, up 20 million bus, or 13%, from 160 million bus in 2014-15. Exports were projected at 925 million bus, up 65 million bus, or 8%, from 860 million bus this year. Total use was projected at 2,144 million bus, up 87 million bus, or 4%, from 2,057 million bus this year.

The initial all wheat average price for 2015-16 was projected at $4.50@5.50 a bu, compared with $6 a bu estimated for the current year and $6.87 a bu in 2013-14.

Only minor changes were made in 2014-15 wheat-by-class numbers. Initial wheat-by-class estimates for 2015-16 will be issued by the U.S.D.A. in July.

Carryover of hard winter wheat on June 1, 2015, was estimated at 280 million bus, up 8 million bus from April based on a 3-million-bu reduction in 2014-15 domestic use (to 435 million bus) and a 5-million-bu reduction in exports (to 270 million bus).
