What this price means for Idaho Wheat farmers
Idaho wheat averaged $6.24 per bushel in September 2026, $0.06 below the US average of $6.30 for the same month. Idaho wheat has climbed from $5.71 in June to $6.06 in July, $6.00 in August and $6.24 in September, a steady recovery rather than a spike. Wheat is sold under protein and class premiums and discounts, so the elevator's schedule often moves the net price more than the headline number does. The current marketing-year average (MYA) of $5.45 for 2025 trails the prior year's $5.54 by $0.09, and the current figure may still be preliminary.
The September print of $6.24 and the MYA of $5.45 answer different questions. A forward contract priced off a monthly print locks in that point-in-time price, while the MYA is the better number for budgeting annual revenue because it reflects sales across the whole marketing year. For example, on 10,000 bushels the gap between $6.24 and $5.45 is about $7,900, which is the revenue error a budget carries if it assumes the monthly price lasts all year. Many producers price part of the crop off strong prints and budget the rest conservatively.
