mary
Wheat bids were slightly higher,
today, as this week’s hot, windy weather
caused some concern about winter wheat
conditions in the western plants. Export
sales were good this week but not up to
trade expectations. Corn bids finished
steady to slightly lower as recent rains
have been scattered across the corn belt
this week and early planting is under
way. Fairly good export sales this week
underpinned bids. Bean bids were
mostly lower, pressured by.slow export
demand and lower corn bids. However
recent heavy rains in the Midwest, lim
ited declines. Wheat 1 cent higher. Corr
steady to 2 cents lower. Sorghum 2 cents
lower. Soybeans mostly steady to 2 cents
lower.
