And The Big Guys Win Again…

As President of Laundry Today I hope you enjoy reading the publication. I particularly enjoy interactions with our readers from letters they send expressing their opinions on industry happenings or issues which concern them. I rarely take the opportunity to express my opinion, however today I find myself in a position of wanting to speak out regarding hospital consolidation and purchasing groups.
I have watched the business of independent sellers of institutional textiles evaporate as hospitals consolidated and purchasing groups were awarded the shrinking number of linen contracts. I reasoned that this change was yet another business reality where the big guys get bigger and the small independents disappear since large companies can afford to sell products at a lower price.However, I am far from convinced that hospitals actually save money by purchasing everything from one general purchasing group. If fact, there are "small guys" who can compete with prices that large purchasing groups offer.
So why are hospitals going the route of purchasing groups when in most instances hospitals are committed to purchasing 80 - 90 percent of their needs from one group - effectively eliminating any competition?
I believe the large "rebate" checks that hospitals receive are an added attraction to a general purchasing contract. But the truth is-the rebate checks are not gifts. These hospitals are only receiving their own money back from overpayment on supplies that they were contracted to purchase at a higher price from large purchasing groups which they could have purchased elsewhere for a lower price.
And here's another fact to consider, hospitals who think that buying groups are the answer to their prayers have reduced their purchasing staffs leaving themselves with little expertise to oversee their buying groups or to make sure they can't get better deals on their own. So how can any of these hospitals know if they are really saving money?
After reading the expose pieces published in The New York Times I think the time has come for congress to investigate the financial links between hospital buying groups and suppliers. There is room for more than four textile firms serving the health care industry. But more importantly, the ability to compete fairly for business and a business' ability to chose a supplier with the "best price" are quickly becoming traditions of the past. Is that something we as a society can afford to lose?

"These are very good headphones ... But, are not the ones for me!"
4.0 starson by SkySgtPros: Sharp looking design. Sound quality better than most I've tried ... very good bass response.
Cons: Rattling noise in LEFT earpiece (see cause & fix below). The "behind the ear" clips definitely not designed for a HUMAN ear. What, no carry case !!!!
Summary: I am currently looking to purchase a second pair of headphones to supplement my current Sony MDR-828LP earbuds ... Which are still going strong for over a few years now!
The Sony MDR-Q55SL is the third pair that I have tested in the past week (I've also tried a pair of Philips in-ear noise-canceling headphones, and a pair of Sennheiser MX-550 earbuds). The Q55SLs beat the other two hands-down for sound quality!
I also like the cool styling of the Q55SLs, as they look much like a tiny pair of expensive studio quality headphones ... image is everything!
However, as with everything else in life, there are a few drawbacks and trade-offs to these headphones:
1. I like the braided cord, because it gives added strength to the wires. However, they also make them very stiff and rough ... ever heard of "rope burns" ... well, if you tried, you could probably give yourself one with these! Maybe over time, the cords will relax and not be as stiff. The fact that there is no carry case, also adds to the cord dilemma. If you were to simply toss them in a backpack or purse, you would ultimately spend quite a few minutes untangling them when you wanted to use them. The stiffness of the cord makes that task similar to unravelling a 100' extension cord ... we all know how tedious that can get!
2. The behind-the-ear clips are just too oddly shaped for my own ears. They became very uncomfortable to ME after only a few minutes of use. Perhaps they would eventually "break-in" after repeated use, but I really don't have the patience to give it a try.
3. The rough braided cord also introduces an unpleasant noise into the left headset (The one where the two wires enter). When I first put them on, I immediately noticed that there was a "grinding/rattling" noise in the left headset, whenever I would turn my head from side-to-side. I initially thought that there was something loose and rattling around inside. Upon further troubleshooting, I found that turning my head would cause the two braided wires to rub together, and the noise was being amplified by the plastic casing of the left headphone. However, I came up with a fix ... First, make sure you wear the wire (From the left to right headphone) behind your neck ... Not in front, like I was doing at the time. Then, take the supplied rubber tie that holds both wires together, and slide it down the wires, to a position about two inches below where they enter the left headphone. This virtually eliminated the rubbing of the two wires, and thus eliminated the noise.
4. I plan to use the new headphones at work. However, I will need a pair that I can get on and off very quickly and easily. The behind-the-ear clip design of the Q55SLs does not accomplish this for me. Like I said, the design is not good for MY ears, therefore it takes some tugging and pulling on my ear to get them to fit semi-comfortably. This takes too much time, and is the MAIN reason why I will be taking these headphones back to the store and get my money back.
Otherwise, I can definitely recommend these headphones to anyone who is looking for excellent sound quality, and knows that this earpiece design will definitely work for them.

Hey Idiot. Did you ever stop to think that the judge struck it down because it was not a legal law in the first place. He had to strike it down. Problem is that people like you don't want everyone to be eqaual and enjoy all of the freedoms that cour constitution and bill of rights give us. You people are so stupid.<quoted text>
The majority of the voters in California, voted for the ban on same sex marriage.
Then some liberal, left wing judge, from the 9th Circuit Court decides to strike it down.
Wrong - Wrong - Wrong. GOD IS GONNA CUT YOU DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

Serves 10 to 12
The secret to achieving the right hearty (but not heavy) texture for this stuffing is to use good-quality whole-grain bread. The stuffing is cooked outside the turkey so vegetarians can enjoy it, too.
Put the bread on a rack and dry on the counter overnight. Alternatively, dry the bread on a baking sheet in a 275°F oven, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 15 to 45 minutes.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Put the bread in a very large mixing bowl.
Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil and 1/4 cup of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, leek, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring often, until beginning to color, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the apples, reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Add the vegetables and fruit to the bread.
Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until golden-brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the bread mixture, along with the walnuts, cherries, prunes, and all of the herbs. With your hands, gently but thoroughly toss.
Pour 1-1/2 cups of the vegetable broth over the mixture and thoroughly mix again. If the liquid is immediately absorbed, add another 1/2 to 1 cup broth. If a little liquid pools at the bottom of the bowl, you've added enough. Continue tossing occasionally until the liquid is fully absorbed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the eggs.
Transfer the stuffing to a large (roughly 11x13-inch) oiled baking dish. Bake until hot throughout, 40 minutes if starting at room temperature or 50 minutes if refrigerated. Dot the top of the stuffing with the remaining 2 Tbs. butter and bake until the top is crisp, 5 to 10 minutes more.
The stuffing—minus the broth and eggs—can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days before finishing and baking.

by IPM, 11/25/2012This is the best stuffing recipe that I have tried in 35 years. We really liked the combination of fruits, nuts, and leeks. I used a good heavy whole wheat bread from a bakery and I tossed the bread cubes in olive oil and toasted them two days ahead. I made the stuffing minus the broth and eggs a day ahead and then on Thanksgiving I added the broth and eggs. One person felt we could have added a meat...bacon or something but felt that pouring the gravy over the stuffing took care of that lack. All of the stuffing was gone by the next day...it was a hit.
by winstonk, 11/25/2011Made this for our Thanksgiving dinner as suggested in the Oct/Nov 2011 "Fine Cooking" magazine. The ingredient list looked great but the results were mediocre as the flavors were overriden by the bread. That may have been due to using a homemade bread from a whole-wheat and 7-grain recipe. But it was a lot of work and with all the good stuffing recipes out there we probably won't use this one again.
by Pvmom, 11/24/2011Really tasty stuffing! My 7 and 10yo's loved it. I made a couple of substitutions because I hade them on hand. I used portabella mushrooms instead of cremini. I also used apricots instead of prunes and cranberries (dried) instead of cherries. Overall a very good stuffing I will make this again but follow the recipe as directed !

Raised in Philadelphia and in nearby Sewell, New Jersey, southeast of Camden |
Born Clorinda Fiorentino on March 9, 1960 in Philadelphia, PA to Italian-American parents, she was raised with her six brothers and sisters in Sewell, NJ. Fiorentino graduated from Washington Township High School in 1976, where she played basketball and joined the cheerleading squad. After graduation, she studied political science and performed in various theatrical productions at Pennsylvania's Rosemont College, earning her BA in 1980. Immediately following her time at Rosemont, Fiorentino made the move to New York City, where she was accepted into the prestigious Circle in the Square Professional Theater School, one of only 54 applicants taken from a field of 1,200. While studying at Circle in the Square, the aspiring actress supported herself as a bartender at Manhattan's Kamikaze nightclub, along with fellow mixologist at the time, Bruce Willis. Incredibly, Fiorentino's big break came with her first professional audition for a feature film, when she landed the co-starring role in the coming-of-age romantic drama "Vision Quest" (1985). Cast as the enigmatic artist, Carla, she sizzled on screen as high school wrestler Louden Swain's (Matthew Modine) object of desire, and jumpstarted her nascent movie career virtually overnight.
That same year, she starred in the lightweight Cold War action-adventure "Gotcha!" (1985) as a sexy secret agent who entangles a naïve college student (Anthony Edwards) in a deadly game of international intrigue. Almost simultaneously, she made a memorable appearance in Martin Scorsese's nightmarish comedy of errors "After Hours" (1985) as kinky SoHo sculptor and dominatrix, Kiki Bridges. Deciding that mainstream Hollywood was not for her, she took herself out of the running for the "Top Gun" (1986) role eventually played by Kelly McGillis, and instead focused her efforts on a biopic about Andy Warhol contemporary Edie Sedgwick that was to be written and directed by then-husband John Byrum. The film never went into production, and Fiorentino - whose career suffered from being away from screens for so long - eventually acquiesced to appear in the subpar romantic adventure "Wildfire" (1988), helmed by first-time director Zalman King. Much more favorably received was her vulnerable performance alongside Keith Carradine and John Lone in "The Moderns" (1988), a period drama revolving around American expatriates in 1920s Paris. For the next few years, she disappeared into a string of disposable ensemble pieces like "Queens Logic" (1991), Shout" (1991) and "Chain of Desire" (1993).
After taking part in the dismal, made-for-cable biker movie "Beyond the Law" (HBO, 1994) co-starring Charlie Sheen and Michael Madsen, Fiorentino was in desperate need of a career boost. Thankfully, that game-changing part came when she took on the challenging role of ruthless femme fatale Bridget Gregory in John Dahl's neo-noir "The Last Seduction" (1994). Her merciless swindling of her ethically-challenged husband (Bill Pullman) and her sexual manipulation of a small town boy (Peter Berg) impressed audiences and critics alike, drawing comparisons of the actress to such classic screen sirens as Barbara Stanwyck. Although Fiorentino would win several awards for the performance - including Independent Spirit and New York Film Critics Circle awards for Best Actress - she was deemed, in a controversial decision, to be ineligible for an Oscar due to the fact that "The Last Seduction" had premiered on cable television. The rave reviews and media attention proved to be a mixed blessing, as most of the offers generated by the film called for her to essentially reprise her heartless sex kitten persona. Fiorentino finally caved, and took on a co-starring role in director William Friedkin's disastrous "Jade" (1995), as a psychologist-hooker suspected of murder.
In the wake of the career-destroying fiasco that was "Jade," Fiorentino jumped at a chance to reteam with Dahl for the sci-fi thriller "Unforgettable" (1996); this time as a reserved scientist who has discovered a way to transmit memory via chemical injection. Unfortunately, the film failed to live up to its name or to recapture the magic of Fiorentino's previous collaboration with the director, and was soon forgotten. The actress' fortunes improved when she landed the female lead in director Barry Sonnenfeld's summer blockbuster "Men in Black" (1997). Despite the film's success, Fiorentino's role as a NYC coroner was little more than window dressing for the special effects-laden comedy starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Once again, the actress found herself lacking for quality film projects. In the meantime, she made due with turns in such lackluster efforts as the nostalgic crime comedy "Kicked in the Head" (1997) and the by-the-numbers heist movie "Body Count" (The Movie Channel, 1998). Fiorentino enjoyed a small bump with her appearance in Kevin Smith's controversial, scathing satire of Catholicism, "Dogma" (1999), although the outspoken director's well-publicized remarks about her diva-like behavior on the set of the film was far from the press she needed at the time.
"Where the Money Is" (2000) may have paired Fiorentino with screen legend Paul Newman as unlikely partners in an aging criminal's last job, but the barely-seen film did little to increase her profile. A role in revered director Mike Nichols' "Which Planet Are You From?" (2000), starring Garry Shandling as an alien sent to earth to procreate with Annette Bening, continued her streak of working with Hollywood's best and brightest in films that sank at the box office. Next, she starred as an international arms dealer held hostage by the vengeful father (Wesley Snipes) of a girl killed by one of her weapons in the direct-to-video release "Liberty Stands Still" (2002). After a period of relative obscurity, Fiorentino made headlines late in 2008 when her then-boyfriend, ex-FBI agent Mark T. Rossini, was charged with accessing sensitive bureau computer files regarding legally-challenged L.A. private investigator Anthony Pellicano, at Fiorentino's behest. For her part, the actress claimed that it was in order to research a film based on Pellicano that she hoped to produce. Prosecutors, on the other hand, felt that it was an attempt by the actress - who knew the P.I. - to help Pellicano in his wire tapping and racketeering trial. Ultimately, the end result was the break-up of Fiorentino and Rossini, his resigning from the FBI in disgrace, and Pellicano being sentenced to 15 years in prison. Fiorentino resurfaced the following year as yet another femme fatale in the karaoke drama "Once More With Feeling" (2009), appearing opposite Chazz Palminteri.

Notes |
Some sources give 1960 as Ms. Fiorentino's year of birth. |
According to Fiorentino, she met "Men in Black" director Barry Sonnenfeld playing poker, got him to bet her role in that movie and won the hand. |
Fiorentino was set to co-star in "Till the End of Time", a film about painter Georgia O'Keefe and her husband Alfred Steiglitz (to be played by Ben Kingsley) but the project shut down after less than a month. The actress was later sued by the production company Art Oko Film. The $5 million-plus lawsuit alleged breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and international interference with economic advantage. Her representatives had no comment. |
"The thing that's always bothered me is that, even if you have a strong female character, invariably in the third act she has to say something like, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you,' or she has to become really vulnerable and wimpy and get her comeuppance. Even in something like 'Thelma and Louise', where you have these two very strong characters, they have to die in the end. What's so special about 'The Last Seduction' is that none of that happens. Had a Hollywood studio made that film instead of an independent, it would have been very different. She definitely wouldn't have gotten away with what she does get away with." --Linda Fiorentino to Chazz Palminteri in Interview, March 1995 |
"I've had receptionists in office buildings say: 'I saw "The Last Seduction", and I went home and threw my boyfriend up against the wall, and he loved it! You gave me the courage to behave like a bitch, and it was completely liberating!' I mean, women really responded as if I was living out their fantasy." --Fiorentino quoted in US, November 1995 |
"When I met with Paul Verhoeven for 'Basic Instinct', I couldn't get a job--it wasn't like I had a lot of choices. But he didn't want me for the lead, only for the Jeanne Tripplehorn part. I thought that was a nothing part. I told him, 'If I'm going to do something like this, I want to go for it. I'm not interested in the small part--I can do that in another movie.' Not that I had a wealth of choices at that point." --Fiorentino to Jesse Kornbluth in Buzz, November 1995 |
About her experience at a car-rental agency when she realized she had forgotten her wallet: "'Oh, my God, you've got to help me!' I begged the guy behind the counter. 'I've got to be at a meeting in an hour. I must be in the computer somewhere.' The guy looks at me and hisses, 'I must have a (credit card) imprint!' And I start crying, I just put on a f---ing show. And suddenly ... he goes, 'Oh, my God! You are Jade!' and he gave me the car. And I thought, if I didn't do that movie, and he didn't see it on Pay-Per-View, or wherever the f--- he saw it, I wouldn't have a car right now and I would miss the meeting. That's what I got out of 'Jade'. And that's all." --Fiorentino quoted in US, July 1997 |

Customer service has no clue
By Den Miller, posted: Oct 13I had a problem number(voice mail being left and calls not for me) so I requested a number change, I got the change but now I cannot log into my.t-mobile.com and look at my info. Several calls to customer service resulted in nothing but questions and comments that they are down, or tha tI did somrthing wrong, yet I could look at my wife's account. Their CSR seem to have no training whatsoever. - 1.0 overall
Stay away from T Mobile
By Bernardo Molchanova, posted: Oct 13To me, T Mobile was the worst carrier experience ever. One month I was made to pay 500 dollars for two lines for calling voice mail at one point 40 times in a minute.When I called they forgave some of it; I requested to cancel my service and the offered a 10 dollar discount per month which mysteriously ended 10 months prior to my 2 year contract. I was paying phone insurance and when it broke 1 month before my 2 year contract they said I had to pay 150 deductible to get the same phone...a two year old phone that's worth 5 dollars on gazelle.com! Also, I was getting 15% military discount and when I told them to close my account, I was told this discount did not apply to my last month. As far as service, this was so frustrating that I always had dropped calls or no service at all. If you go T Mobile...Good Luck! - 1.0 overall
By Charlie Neil, posted: Oct 13I had Tmobile for 10 years. I just dropped them. For 6 years they were great, but in the past 4 years they have been awful! They do not know how to do their jobs, and when they make mistakes they will not fix them. They kept charging me for a phone I had paid off months before, and everytime I called to have it fixed they would not fix it. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! I even wrote a letter to their head quarters and the high up people don't care either. Don't ever use Tmobile! - 1.0 overall
They just keep getting worse!
By C M, posted: Oct 13Four independent contractors in my office have T-Molie service and three have AT&T. Due to something in the building, none of us gets more than one bar on the service signal. Someone with AT&T called AT&T and explained the problem - we have to step outside our office to get signals. AT&T immediately provided a free signal booster. Problem solved. I called T-Mobile with the same problem and was told that we'd have to pay for a signal booster because we don't have the 'right service.' Seriously! So, for all of you out there who are wondering how T-Mobile can provide service without contracts, the answer is simple - they've taken away the little bit of service they actually had. I didn't think a company could go from worse to worse, but T-Mobile has proven me wrong. Can't wait to read about the buy-out or bankruptcy in the financials. Clearly, they can't last operating like this. As a side note to T-Mobile: sending your customer service responsibilities to foreign countries only serves to makes your customers angrier. If you are remain compelled to do this, the least you can do is teach your new employees about the American culture. No amount of apologizing, being nice and repeating what I just said will ever replace good customer service. Bring it back home where it belongs. - 1.0 overall
poor poor poor
By Satia K. Manik, posted: Oct 13I called 611 to close one of my number because I don't need that anymore, it is around 4 days after billing cyclice. When I said I don't need the number anymore it should mean the number and the service has to be cut off as soon as possible. But what happened is the number was kept active until the next billing cycle which mean I have to pay for the full month. The representative didn't not give option between cut off automatically or keep active until billing cycle, which the options are available when I called second time. so bad. It is cheap, but poor signal and poor service ! - 1.0 overall
horrible service, worst customer care
By Foroud Sharegh, posted: Oct 13I was with t mobile for the last eight years. At the beginning they were okay, but they kept getting worse and worse. Over the last year, the service was so bad that we couldn't even make a phone call without disconnecting at least 5 times. We called several times to resolve the issue, but they kept telling us that things will get better when they completely switch to 4G. Finally after spending hours and hours with customer care and wasting so much time, we decided to pay almost $400.00 and get out of our contract. They did not even for once tried to accommodate. We have Sprint now and so far all is great. - 4.7 overall
Surprising results
By Larry Myers, posted: Oct 13I'm new to TMobile and wasn't expecting cs to be as good as my old carrier. I've had reason to call TM customer service on several occasions for various questions, and the response I got was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, and factual. Not sure why the bad reviews, but I can only add my experience as a definite plus. - 1.0 overall
Worst Customer Service EVER!
By Alexander Azikov, posted: Oct 13I wanted to buy new phone and decided to try T-Mobile, 'cause the prices for phone were really nice. It was a big mistake! I've ordered Galaxy Note 2 online. And all I got two weeks later is an empty package. I called customer service. It was a nightmare. I was spending almost an hour on hold every day for 3 days, when they were trying to solve my problem transferring me from one department to another. First, they opened investigation claim, then they said they would send me new phone and refund me the amount of the previous order, once investigation is complete. It was fine with me, because I knew that the phone would never be activated through my account. Second, while confirming the order they never bothered to ask which address I want it delivered to, but the worst part was that they called me the next day and asked me how I want to be charged for the full amount of the previous order, which I never got!!! They don't seem to have any records of my previous problem case, their departments don't seem to talk to each. I was on hold with them for more than 40 minutes, and they said that there is nothing they can do, until investigation is over. I was being treated like a criminal. I've never ever had such a horrible experience with any other company as T-Mobile. I'm never gonna use T-Mobile again and advise everybody I know to stay away from T-Mobile as far as possible. - 1.0 overall
Service quality SUCKS.
By Karina Pennett, posted: Oct 13I've had T mobile as a provider under my parents since I was thirteen ( I am now 18 years old, as of September), and all I can possibly say about their terrible service is this: DO NOT GET IT. The phones are nice. The prices, mediocre. The customer service gets a solid C rating. But the reason you buy a phone and a package is to call and send text messages, and T Mobile just does not have the adequate service to meet this requirement. Slowly over the past year and a half, I've noticed that I can no longer send text messages (the bar says its on one or two, but really there is no service) or recieve/send calls unless I am in big cities. I live in the La area, which you would think would be enough of a big area to provide coverage, but aparently it is not, because my phone will not recieve or send anything while I am within 20 miles of my home. That is utter bullshit. If you want a good provider, check out verizon, att, ANYTHING BUT TMOBILE. None of my friends with other providers ever have any problems with their phones. I'm getting off of my parents plan, and buying my own from them. If your shopping around for a new provider i highly discourage getting a plan from this company. - 4.3 overall
It was a pleasure
By Kathy Banta, posted: Oct 13Tonight my husband and I went to Tmobile in Apple Valley and were greeted with friendly service. The gentleman that helped us, Antonio, was friendly, upbeat, informative and made our experience with purchasing a new plan enjoyable. My husband always asks tons of questions and Antonio answered them all, some twice, with patience. Thank you, Antonio for such a pleasant experience. Kathy B

U.S. Corn Output May Rise to R...

U.S. Corn Output May Rise to Record, USDA Says; Soybean, Wheat Crops Gain
Saturday, 25 February 2012 | 00:00
U.S. corn production may jump 15 percent to a record 14.27 billion bushels as surging profits spur farmers to plant the most acres since World War II, the government said. Soybean and wheat output also may climb.
Domestic corn inventories before this year's harvest may rise to 1.616 billion bushels, rebounding from a 16-year low in the previous year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said today in a report. Yields may average 164 bushels an acre from 94 million acres planted, the most since 1944. About 4.95 billion bushels will be used to make ethanol, the fewest in three years, the USDA said.
"It appears more profitable to produce corn," Ed Allen, a USDA field-crops analyst, said in a presentation at the department's annual outlook forum, where the data was released. "With normal weather, we expect a yield rebound. Since we have a higher area, the supply response is rather dramatic."
A bigger corn crop and slowing demand for the grain's use in ethanol may lower prices and boost U.S. inventories that shrank to a 16-year low in the past year. Farmers in 2012 will receive $5 a bushel, down 19 percent from last year, while wheat prices will slide 14 percent and soybeans may drop 1.7 percent, the USDA said yesterday. The decline will push farm profits down 6.5 percent to $91.7 billion, second only to last year's record.
Rising Yields
Rising U.S. yields may boost soybean production to 3.25 billion bushels, up 6.3 percent from last year's crop of 3.056 billion, the USDA said. Inventories before the 2013 harvest may still tumble 25 percent to 205 million bushels, in part as exports climb.
Exports to China, which last year bought 29 percent of the value of the U.S. soybean crop, "are a supportive factor on supply and demand," while the size of this year's crops in Brazil and Argentina will be key to determining prices, Allen said. Brazil this year will surpass the U.S. as the top soybean shipper for the first time, according to USDA projections.
"We have not reached our potential" in South America, Pablo Adreani, the director of AgriPAC Consultants, a Buenos Aires-based agricultural consultancy, said at the USDA forum. He predicted the region will continue to boost its global market share.
Bigger Wheat Crop
U.S. wheat output may rise to 2.165 billion bushels, up 8.3 percent from the 1.999 billion a year earlier, according to the USDA. Exports may be unchanged at 975 million bushels, while feed use jumps 24 percent to 180 million bushels. Stockpiles may total 957 million bushels before the 2013 harvest, up 13 percent from a year earlier.
"The wheat price is supported by the corn price, and it's profitable to sell wheat," Allen, the USDA analyst, said. Increased competition from nations of the former Soviet Union, where annual variations in yields are twice those in the U.S., will contribute to price volatility, he said. Still, higher inventories should mute sharp price moves, he said.
The U.S. is the world's largest grower of corn and soybeans, and the biggest exporter of corn and wheat.
