We have stockpiles of wheat here in the USA. But I have not been able to find information as to how much reserves there are. We may have shortages of certain types of wheat to make flour out of. but I am sure we have enough wheat to last at least six to nine months left in stock.
Unless they start shipping out our reserves too much, we should be fine. But the price of flour and wheat products is going to go up at least another twenty percent before this is over. Price increases are futures lately, so we have not hit the highest prices yet for what is being bid on..

Well that's the thing again we will have another harvest happening soon, and while I don't know much about farming especially wheat, 2 good months can make a huge difference in a struggling crop and a good one. My understanding is these are just estimates from large wheat producers, there are plenty of other private smaller producers that we won't know their potential yield till it's harvested.

You Can Blame the Biden admin and the EU for the sanctions against Russia. Russia is the largest producer and exporter of wheat and other farming products.
Russia is 16% when it comes to agriculture trade.

Because russia stole the massive previous harvest, destroyed the Ukrainian farms that produced it, and are hoarding their own harvests in a pathetic attempt to intentionally create a global famine.
It won't work, the U.S. can replace every bit of what russia removed from global markets with a few simple policy changes.
Though the folks in charge have so far refused to even consider these simple policy changes, I doubt their opinions will matter much longer, they'll either be forced by world events and public pressure to finally abandon those insane policies, or will be quickly voted out of office in overwhelming and historically significant numbers.
It's time, way past time, to finally and permanently take the political shackles off the U.S. agriculture and energy industries.
