Wheat 1 to 7 cents higher. Com 1 to 2 cents higher. Sorghum steady to 3 cents higher. Soybeans steady to 5 cents higher. Prices are currently at a very low level, but processors and elevators have even bigger discount basis further down the road. This is true for new crop bids and even later this month. Ideal conditions exist early in the season for big production figures. There are large cany over stocks still in the storage bins. No export announcements on the books so far this week. Producers are looking at LDP. Hard Red Winter Wheat in most places is already 30-60 cents and Soft Winter Wheat 40-70 cents and combines have not even made the first rounds yet. Com is not doing too bad, zero to two or three cents most places. Soybeans are rather costly right now. The majority of the counties have over 1.00 a bushel and a record crop is pre dicted by many analysts. When the farmers make the last tuns and put the soybean drills under the shed for this year they tosh down to the FSA offices to sign up.
