Al4-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 11,2002 Daily National Grain Market Summary St Joseph, JTO May 8,2002 Report Supplied By USDA Grain and soybean bids were moderate ly higher for the day as crop concerns, weather, and export news offer support. Wheat 2 to 5 cents higher. Com 4 to 6 cents higher. Sorghum 8 to 10 cents high er. Soybeans 2 to 4 cents higher. Rains continue to fall on soft red winter wheat areas and missing the dry areas in the hard red winter areas. Crops are feel ing the stress and traders bear severe yield losses. Good overnight export orders from Taiwan added light support to wheat bids. Corn and bean bids were stronger as wet conditions continued to keep pro ducers out of the fields. Technical buying on the board was noted as more rain is forecast across the Corn Belt. Lack of ex port interest limited gains for both com and bean bids.
