Abstract: Gulf wheat forward basis bids increase as harvest approaches. Forward contract prices four months before harvest average $0.4|bu. less than prices at harvest. Prices received by directly hedging in the futures market are estimated to be higher than prices received through forward contracts. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
