St. Joaeph, Mo.
Tueadaj, Feb. 2, 1988
CASH GRAINS AND SOYBEANS
CLOSED MDCED. WHEAT MARKETS
VEXED IN VERY SLOW TRADING.
CORN MARKETS HIGHER ON CON
TINUED FIRM EXPORT DEMAND
AND LIGHT COUNTRY SELLING.
SOYBEANS SHARPLY LOWER AS
CROPS IN SOUTH AMERICA CON
TINUE TO RECEIVE AMPLE MOIS
TURE AND COOL WEATHER. ALSO,
SOYBEAN BY-PRODUCTS WEAKER
ON LACK OF EUROPEAN DEMAND.
WINTER WHEAT AND SMALL
GRAINS WERE MOSTLY GOOD TO
FAIR. MELTED SNOW SUBJECTED
THE WHEAT CROP IN KANSAS TO
POSSIBLE FREEZE DAMAGE. FREEZ
ING TEMPERATURES SWEPT AS FAR
SOUTH AS FLORIDA. WHILE TEXAS
SMALL GRAINS IMPROVED SLOWLY
WITH WARMER WEATHER. MANY
FIELDS NEED MOISTURE FOR
GROWTH AND GREENING. PRODUC
ERS TOP DRESSED SOME FIELDS IN
THE BLACK LAND AND CENTRAL
AREAS. LIVESTOCK WAS MOSTLY
GOOD; ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERA
TURES EASED SUPPLEMENTAL
FEEDING AND STRESS. PASTURES
WERE MOSTLY FAIR TO GOOD.
THE COLDEST WEATHER SO FAR
THIS WINTER, COVERED WINTER
GRAIN AREAS OF THE WESTERN
USSR. ALTHOUGH WINTER GRAINS
WERE STRESSED BY THE BITTER
COLD, SNOW COVER WAS ADEQU
ATE IN MOST AREAS TO PROTECT
THE CROP FROM WINTER KILL.
SOME DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE IN THE
EXTREME EASTERN UKRAINE AND
NORTHERN CAUCASUS. IN SOUTH
AMERICA, HEAVY SHOWERS AND
COOLER WEATHER IMPROVED CON
DITIONS FOR FLOWERING TO POD
SETTING SOYBEANS AND OTHER
GRAINS.
