A6-lih6*tar Faming, Saturday, May 18,1996 National Grain Market ST. JOSEPH, MO MAY 15, 1996 Sunshine md clearing weather got no respect in the grain and soybean trade Wednesday. Trends highly mixed for dif ferent commodities, except soybeans defi nitely lower. Wheat 1 to 14 cents lower, except Portland 9 to 7 cents higher. Com 1 to .7 cents higher, except the com state of lowa 2 to 1 cents lower. Sorghum 4 cents higher to 3 cents lower. Soybeans 2 to 4 cents lower. Most sunshine for any one day the past three weeks in the Western Combcll today and moving Bast. However, ground is waterlogged many places and will take a few days before com planter and wheat drills can start rolling again. Forecast next 6-10 days calls for continued cold and damp conditions in Spring Wheat country and crops much behind normal Trade war talks in the making for one of our big cus tomers, China. Many elevators lowered their basis and futures also lower. New crop Hard Red Winter wheat quoted 7 over the July and many producers very happy with 6.55 wheat if it holds through harvest If sunshine gets into Eastern Combelt and dries out the area, many more acres of com will be planted even though it it getting late in the season. High prices draw big acreage and a little gamble, despite the fact normally yields drop one bushel per acre-' per day after May IS. Elevators adjusted their com basis lower today but throwing out December bids of 3.58 for new crop and that is at a very good money-making level. Soybeans taking a low profile and just waiting to tee how many acres King Com will leave them. Elevators bidding 7.80 for new crop beans and that it a very good alternative to go to if com does not get planted.
