Daily National Grain Market Summary
Wheat bids continued to climb higher on
crop concerns in dry areas of Texas and
export optimism. Com and soybean bids
turned lower after two days of higher
trends. Slowed export sales and improved
soil con- didon after recent moisture in the
Midwest, weighed on bids. Wheat 1 to 5
cents higher. Com 1 to 7 cents lower. Sorg
hum 2 cents lower. Soybeans 2 to 7 cents
lower. Continued news that China may
need to import wheat due to light stocks
kept wheat bids moving higher. Another
Chinese wheat team will be in the US in
April. Light overnight orders and indica
tions Morocco will tender for 4 million
bushels of soft wheat tomorrow, also sup
ported bids. Export interest has been slow
this week for com and beans. More rain
overnight hit the Midwest and Com Beit
areas and improving soil moisture levels.
Spring planting is near and some places
may start early down south.
