Grain Regional Stocks — Simple Model

Data: gold/hrw_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/hrs_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/srw_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/white_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/wheat_us_total_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/durum_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/corn_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/corn_us_total_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/bean_stocks_prediction.parquet, gold/hrw_stocks_residual_predictor_analysis.parquet, gold/hrs_stocks_residual_predictor_analysis.parquet, gold/srw_stocks_residual_predictor_analysis.parquet, gold/corn_stocks_residual_predictor_analysis.parquet, predictions/ers_wheat_stocks_by_class.parquet. Current-year production for prediction models uses yield prediction models by default (winter wheat yield predictions for HRW/SRW, both winter and spring yield predictions for White, spring wheat yield predictions for HRS, corn and soybean yield prediction history for corn/soybeans).

Simple OLS: Y(stocks) = f(X), where X = prev quarter stocks − exports (non-production quarters) or X = prev stocks + production − exports (production quarter: Sep for wheat, Dec for corn/soybeans). Soybean models use national stocks, all soybean exports, and national NASS soybean crush. Highlighted = forward projection.

HRW Stocks (M bu)

HRS Stocks (M bu)

SRW Stocks (M bu)

White Stocks (M bu)

Durum Stocks (M bu)

Simple model: X = prev quarter stocks only (no exports subtracted). Implicitly assumes average use and average production.

Total USA Wheat Stocks (M bu)

Sum of all wheat classes (HRW + HRS + SRW + White + Durum) from ERS by-class data. Highlighted = forward projection (sum of per-class predictions).

SRW September Residual Predictors

Top 5 one-variable candidates for explaining the September stocks model residual. Adjusted prediction = current simple-model prediction + predicted residual.

Scatter plots: selected by LOO R²
Scatter plots: selected by |Spearman correlation|

HRW September Residual Predictors

Top 5 one-variable candidates for explaining the September stocks model residual. Adjusted prediction = current simple-model prediction + predicted residual.

HRS June Residual Predictors

Top 5 one-variable candidates for explaining the June stocks model residual. Adjusted prediction = current simple-model prediction + predicted residual.

Scatter plots: selected by LOO R²

Wheat-US Total Stocks (M bu)

Independently fitted national class models for HRW, HRS, SRW, and White. Durum is excluded because its existing model does not use comparable export or production inputs.

Corn Stocks (M bu)

Corn June Residual Predictors

Top 5 one-variable candidates for explaining the June stocks model residual. Adjusted prediction = current simple-model prediction + predicted residual.

Corn-US Total Stocks (M bu)

Independently fitted national corn model using U.S. total stocks, national production, and all U.S. corn exports.

Regional Build-Up vs National Model

Soybean Stocks (M bu)

National model: X = prior-quarter national stocks minus all soybean exports minus national NASS soybean crush, with December adding current-year production. Forward exports use the soybean export matrix.
