Wanner, drier weather, good crop con
dition. and planting progress pushed grain
apd soybean bids lower for the day. Wheat
1 to 5 cents lower. Com 1 to 2 cents lower.
Sorghum 3 cents lower. Soybeans 4 to 7
cents lower. Wheat bids were lower as
favorable planting weather in spring wheat
areas. Winter wheat harvest is moving
further north in Texas. light overnight
export wheat sales to South Korea kept
bids from dropping too low. Com and soy
bean bids were also lower due to the warm
dry weather in the Midwest. Com planting
has resumed in most areas and rapid
emergence has been repotted on crops that
have been planted over the past week.
Many areas, however, ate still too wet and
need several mote dry days. Some export
optimism has limited declines in com.
Lack of fresh export soybean sales,
weighed on bean bids.
