**Wheat prices continue to climb as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues.

Rabobank analyst Stephen Nicholson says the world’s biggest wheat buyers may need to reconsider whether they’ll continue buying grain from the Black Sea regions.

With the ongoing acreage battle between corn and soybeans in the U.S., Nicholson says we’ll see what the war does to the number of U.S. wheat acres.
