French soft wheat rated “good” or “excellent” rose in the seven days ended May 29 from a week earlier as barley and corn conditions also improved, crop office FranceAgriMer reported.
Soft wheat with top ratings increased to 70 percent from 69 percent in the previous week, the Montreuil-sous-Bois, France-based office reported on its website today. That compares with 24 percent rated “good” or “excellent” a year ago, when a spring drought hurt the crop.
