This monthly basis report provides a spatial analysis of crop basis in the Great Plains Region: Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, and parts of Colorado and Texas. Basis is calculated by subtracting the nearby futures price from the cash price, where nearby is defined as the futures contract closest to expiration without going into the delivery month. Basis captures the effects of local supply and demand, as well as transportation costs, on commodity prices.
The maps in this report are created from cash and futures prices that are collected and analyzed on the third Wednesday of each month. The basis maps in this report show current basis levels for soybeans, corn, wheat, and grain sorghum (grain sorghum basis is calculated using the corn futures market). The basis deviation maps show the difference between the current basis and the three-year historical average basis for the same week and location.
Cash price data
were collected for 300-400 locations, depending on the crop, and the information
was analyzed in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Inverse distance methods
were used to estimate the change in basis over space, which provides an estimate
of the basis for observed and unobserved locations. A flag on the map denotes a
location where cash prices were available. Care should be taken in interpreting
basis estimates in portions of the Great Plains region where few or no cash prices were
available.
