SUMMARY
Planting intention estimates and stocks
are in and prices fall sharply lower. Wheat
7 to 18 cents lower. Com 6 to 8 cents low
er. Sorghum 12 cents lower. Soybeans 14
to 18 cents lower. Wheat bids were sharply
lower as USD A numbers showed a sharp
increase in unwanted durum acreage and
more spring wheat than expected. Addi
tional weakness came from ftmd selling on
the board. Wheat stocks were above trade
estimates and export demand slowed
down. Continued pressure from favorable
growing weather in winter wheat growing
areas, also a factor. The USDA grain
stocks figures released today will likely

force USDA to increase projected com
ending stocks in April’s report. Planting
intentions were close to trade guesses.
Favorable planting weather was also a
pressure factor in com bids. Soybean bids
declined, despite lower than expected
planted acreage estimates. The figure was
about a mil bon below what was expected,
73.1 million. Soybean meal and oil
demand was down and export sales have
been ml this week. Spillover weakness
from wheat and com added to the lower
bids.
