AS-Uncattef Farming, Saturday, Way t 5, 1896
National
Grain Market
ST. JOSEPH, MO
MAY 22, 1996
Wheat, com and sorghum took a levere
beating today. Sprint planting and South
Korea com purchases had front stage cen
ter earlier. Wheat 3 to 9 cents lower. Com
14 to 16 cents lower. Sorghum 23 to 27
cents lower. Soybeans 2 to 3 cents lower,
with Southern lowa off 12 cents. Gulf bids
got kicked harder than truck quotes. How
ever, new crop com and soybean futures
actually ended up slightly higher. This
year's wheat crop in a heap of trouble.
Continuous rains up North and Spring
Wheat plantings at die lowest level for this
lime of the year since 1961. Texas, Okla
homa, New Mexico and parts of Kansas
enduring severe drought conditions and 11
million acres of Hard Red Winter Wheat
already plowed up Severe Winter kill both
Hard and Soft Wheat, on top of 100 much
rain this Spring on many acres of Soft
Wheat lower yields. Harvest is getting
underway down South. Producers claim
both Boards can hear the grinding of com
bine sutlers and prices immediately sun
dropping. All week South Korea bidding
for U.S. com, 367,000 tonnes for the first 3
days. However, a large part of this is for
new crop com and some delivery on next
year's calender. Com planting is making
very good progress, especially the Eastern
Combell, which was lagging far behind
normal. Printed estimates of acres planted
is outdate before the ink dries. With the
help of Grandpa, wives and Mother Nature
farmers can plant over S million acres in a
long day. This time of the year field culti
vators can open the ground and with hot
sun and warm breezes, planters may be up
and running the next day. More rains are in
the forecast for today and tomorrow to
move into the Eastern Combell. Cutoff
planting dates will be later than usual this
year due to high com prices. A large per
cenuge of com was planted very early this
year, now up, looking good and moisture is
beneficial. RAINS MAKE GRAINS. Soy
bean drills running neck and neck with
com planters. There is still plenty of time
to get beans in the ground. Export News:
