For decades, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) has worked to keep customers, trade partners, and stakeholders informed with timely and reliable market information. Price Reports, Harvest Reports, Crop Quality Reports, and Commercial Sales Reports have long been available through the USW website. But accessing important information in those reports on the go – in a mill, at a seminar, or in the middle of a conversation – has not always been straightforward.
Until now.
As an “on-the go” solution, USW has launched the U.S. Wheat Associates mobile app, now available as a free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The app is designed to put the full breadth of USW’s reports and market information directly in the hands of the people who rely on it most – farmers in the fields or millers and bakers who use U.S. wheat.
Centralizing the Information
The USW App consolidates the organization’s most widely referenced publications and data into a single platform. Users can access the following directly from their phone or tablet.
- Price Reports: USW’s weekly price reports provide current and comparative pricing data across U.S. wheat classes and export positions. The app delivers these reports in a clean, mobile-optimized format, no desk, no login, no searching through email.
- Commercial Sales Report: Timely information on U.S. wheat export sales is essential for buyers assessing supply availability and contract timing and for stakeholders looking to track U.S. export progress. The app puts weekly commercial sales figures, as reported by USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service, directly at your fingertips.
- Crop Quality Reports: USW’s annual crop quality reports are a cornerstone resource for millers and buyers worldwide. The app makes these reports available for quick reference in the mill or in a meeting.
- Harvest Reports: Beginning in May and running through early October, USW compiles weekly harvest updates covering crop conditions, progress, and weekly wheat quality data. The app delivers these reports throughout the season, providing quick access to latest updated in U.S. crop development.
A Much-Anticipated Conversion Calculator
Anyone working in wheat marketing and trade knows how often unit conversions come up. Bushels to metric tons in the middle of a pricing discussion. Acres to hectares during a crop tour. Dry matter protein to 12% moisture basis when talking through quality comparisons. These calculations arise constantly, and when they happen in the field, on a mill floor, or in a meeting, “back of the napkin” math introduces both delay and the risk of error. The USW App eliminates that friction with a built-in calculator for the conversions that come up most.
Interactive FOB Price and Harvest Report Data
Beyond the report archive, the USW App creates an interactive interface for free-on-board (FOB) price information and the latest harvest report updates. Rather than reading the entire report to find what matters, users can quickly scan recent trends and key figures at a glance.
That same principle extends to the app’s personalized watchlist feature. Because no two users are tracking the same thing, the watchlist allows individuals to save the data points most relevant to their work and return to them instantly, without navigating from scratch each time.
Availability and Access
The U.S. Wheat Associates App is available now as a free download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for compatible Apple and Android devices.
USW remains committed to expanding the tools and resources available to customers and trade partners worldwide. The mobile app represents the latest investment in that commitment by making the market intelligence USW has long provided more accessible, more portable, and more useful in the contexts where it is needed most.
