Summary
St. Joseph, MO
Sept. 6,2000
Report Supplied By USDA
Sharply lower grain and soybean bids
today. Wheat 3 to 5 cents lower except
Minneapolis was 18 cents lower. Corn 1
to 7 cents lower. Sorghum 7 to 8 cents
lower. Soybeans 16 to 23 cents lower. In
a reaction to recent substantial upturns
grain and soybean bids turn sharply
lower today. Soybeans showed the most
decline but this commodity also posted
the most advances. USDA crop rating
were not quite as bad as many had pre
dicted. However dry weather persist over
a large segment of the country, espe
cially soybean producing areas. Drought
conditions delaying wheat seeding but
still not late enough in the season to be
critical. The corn crop was pretty much
made before the drought became serious.
Hot temperatures and drying weather
has corn harvest off to a early start and
combines running up into the central
Cornbelt. Soybeans continue to turn
from green, to yellow, to brown and
many of the pods at the top of the stalk
not fill out.
