Grain Summary
St Joseph, Met
Wednesday, July 7, 1999
Wheat bids were slightly higher on slow
harvest progress and good overnight export
sales. Com slipped lower due to good crop
conditions and some profit taking on the
board. Soybean bids gained some ground
after yesterday’s sharp declines. Wheat 1 to
2 cents higher. Com 1 cent lower except So.
lowa 3 cents higher. Sorghum I to 3 cents
lower. Soy- beans 2 to 5 cents higher. Tai
wan bought a good amount of US wheat
overnight which was supportive to wheat
bids, however, sales are still very low com
pared to a year ago. Wheat harvest still lags
behind normal after the recent heavy rain
fall in Kansas and Oklahoma. Some good
yields have been reported but some yield
losses are likely in standing, weathering
wheat Favorable growing weather and
good crop ratings are keeping com bids on
the downward slide. Traders made correc
tions in soybean pits after Tuesday’s sharp
declines. However, bean crops aw looking
good and crop ratings are limiting gains.
