Basis bids for hard red winter wheat in the U.S. Plains remained steady as snow hindered movement but reduced winterkill risks for the dormant crop. The USDA reported net export sales of U.S. wheat at 558,201 metric tons for the week ending January 22, a decrease from the previous week but consistent with trade estimates. K.C. March HRW wheat futures fell 5 cents to $5.42 per bushel. Current basis values vary across locations, with Kansas bids ranging from -60 to -90 cents against futures prices.
