Summary
St Joseph, MO
May 23,2001
Report Supplied By USDA
Wheat bids lower again as ideal
weather conditions allow spring wheat
seeding and winter wheat harvesting to
progress. Corn and soybean bids re
gained some of the losses made over the
past few days due mainly to trade cor
rections and some fund buying on the
Board. Wheat mostly steady to 1 cent
lower. Corn 1 to 2 cents higher. Sorghum
1 cent higher. Soybeans 2 to 7 cents
higher.
Export sales overnight helped under
pin wheat bids early in the day but weak
ness set in again midday with little else
to offer support. Favorable weather con
tinues for spring wheat planting and
some areas of Texas arc harvesting
winter wheat and new-crop soft red
winter wheat is moving into elevators in
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia.
Despite the lack of fresh foreign news,
corn and soybean bids showed some
strength today. The major factor was
technical buying on the Board.
The past few days of lower trends
were seen as overdone. Good weather
conditions, however, are limiting gains
in both commodities.

Advantages
• simple assembly of 3 to 8 tiers;
• feed troughs are mounted on
supports for trough stability and
long service life;
• feed trough with inner rim provides
minimal feed losses;
• upper walkway for batteries with
more than 5 tiers = easy bird
control;
• better thermal economy (reduced
heating expenses and reduced
investment costs per bird) is
achieved with systems of 4 or
more tiers due to increased
density;
• remarkably low bird mortality
during rearing.
