Daily National
Grain Market
Summary
St. Joseph, MO
April 18,2001
Report Supplied By USDA
Spring planting worries continue to
offer strength to grain bids. Soybean bids
moved slightly higher despite large U.S.
planting acreage. Bids were mostly
higher, Wheat 1 to 3 cents higher. Corn
were steady to 3 cents lower, Sorghum
steady and Soybeans 3 to 4 cents higher
with Southern lowa up much as 9 cents.
Wheat bids slightly higher as the
value of the U.S. dollar is lower and con
cerns of s’pring planting, supported
prices. Corn mostly steady with weather
conditions the main talk in the corn pits.
Lack of export interest and more mois
ture is expected heading into the week
end. Soybean bids were higher as fund
short positions lend support to bids.
However, larger U.S.
Expected planting and the large South
American supplies coming out of the
fields limited upturns. EXPORT
