The three wheat boards
Minneapolis HRS (MW): hard red spring, the closest futures reference for Canadian spring wheat (CWRS). Thinner trade than the other two.
Kansas City HRW (KE): hard red winter, the main US hard-wheat export class. Driven by Southern Plains moisture.
Chicago SRW (ZW): soft red winter, the most liquid and most speculative board. A poor proxy for Prairie bids.
On a split day, read the board that matches the wheat you are pricing. The detail is in Why Are There Three Wheat Futures? and The Three Wheat Boards.
Converting cents per bushel to dollars per tonne
A wheat bushel is 60 pounds, so one tonne holds about 36.74 bushels. Divide the cents-per-bushel price by 100, then multiply by 36.744.
Example: 634.00 cents per bushel is US$6.34 per bushel, or about US$232.96 per tonne. The per-tonne column above is in US dollars; a Canadian-dollar figure also needs the exchange rate, and a Prairie cash bid also needs basis and protein.
Frequently asked questions
What are wheat futures today?
This page lists the latest verified settle for all three US wheat futures: Chicago soft red winter (SRW), Kansas City hard red winter (HRW) and Minneapolis hard red spring (HRS), with the session date.
Which wheat futures price matters for Prairie spring wheat?
Minneapolis hard red spring (HRS) is the closest futures reference for CWRS. Protein, basis and the Canadian dollar still sit between that close and a Saskatchewan or Alberta elevator bid.
How do I convert wheat cents per bushel to dollars per tonne?
A wheat bushel is 60 pounds, so a tonne holds about 36.74 bushels. Divide cents per bushel by 100 and multiply by 36.744 to get US dollars per tonne. Converting to Canadian dollars also needs the exchange rate.
Why does The Daily Board show three wheat prices instead of one?
They are three different contracts for three classes of wheat. Averaging them hides real differences, and on split days one board can rise while another falls.
