Grain and aoybean bids fell sharply
again, pressured by lack of export demand
and increased com and bean crop estimates
from the FCC. Wheat 4 to 13 cents lower.
Com 8 to 28 cents lower. Sorghum 14 to 17
cents lower. Soybeans IS to 22 cents low
er. Wheat bids were shoved lower due to
the weakness in com and bean bids, today.
Some export tenders are expected this
week but yet to be seen. The FCC
increased their com and soybean crop esti
mate which put pressure on bids. Traders
are a little skeptical about the figure but do
believe it will be larger than the USDA’s
first guess. Very slow export demand this
week for all commodities also weighed on
bids. Export News: Commodity Tonnage
