  • Wheat Prices Close Mixed Ahead of Southern Plains Rains
    May 19, 2026, 8:54 PM EDT. Wheat futures ended mixed Tuesday with Chicago Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat up by around 2-3 cents, Kansas City Hard Red Winter (HRW) steady, and Minneapolis spring wheat down by up to 6.75 cents.

The Brugler500 crop health index declined notably in major HRW states including Kansas and Colorado, while Soft Red Winter states edged higher. Rain expected in the Southern Plains may delay harvest but is too late to aid much of the crop.
