A6-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 10,2001 Daily National Grain Market Summary St. Joseph, MO March 7,2001 Report Supplied By USOA Daily National Grain Market Sum mary Grain and soybean bids moved slightly lower today. Export optimism, profit taking was noted, and some posi tioning ahead of USDA’s report were all factors. Wheat bids 3 to 7 cents lower. Corn 3 to 4 cents lower. Sorghum 5 cents lower. Soybean bids 4 to 6 cent lower. Expected rains and drop of moisture will move in Southern Plains areas later in the week. Wheat slightly tower as lack of fresh news to spark interest in the pits. Losses are being limited as expectations of a small reduction in exports will appear in USDA report. Corn bids lower with light profit taking and concerns of a negative report have the market on their toes. Export demand is slow and foot and mouth problems drove bids lower. Soybean bids were lower as traders look ing for a hike in projected US exports and soybean meal continue to trade up and down.
