A6-Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, July 1, 2000 Daily National Grain Market Summary St. Joseph, MO Wed June 28,2000 Report Supplied By USDA USDA-MO Dept Ag Market News Daily National Grain Market Sum mary Grain and soybean bids were mostly lower after higher trends yesterday. Wheat harvest resumed in some areas, weighing on bids. Light export wheat purchase by CCC overnight was re ported. Corn bids fell sharply lower on light profit taking and weather forecasts calling for more rains and milder tem peratures after the 4th. Soybean bids were mixed, but mostly lower. Crops continue to benefit from scattered rain fall in the Midwest regions and are look ing good most places. Soybean meal prices declined due to smaller than ex pected soy oil stocks and strong domes tic consumption. Lack of fresh export sales this week has added pressure to corn and bean bids. Wheat steady to 4 cents lower. Corn 2 to 8 cents lower. Sor ghum 7 cents lower. Soybeans mixed, mostly 8 to 10 cents lower except Kansas City 3 cents higher.
