Storage Bin Sale Daily National Grain Market Summary St. Joseph, MO June 12,2002 Report Supplied By USD A Wheat prices shot up Monday as the USDA issued its Crop Production Report. Most analysts were predicting a lower estimate for the current Winter Wheat crop, although not as low as was reported. Traders at all three major grain ex changes took note, with Kansas City Winter Wheat futures up 4 to 5 cents on all contracts. Rains that fell over the Southern Plains on Tuesday added addi tional support as the wheat harvest is cur rently experiencing delays. The Crop Pro duction Report also gave com markets a boost as the USDA lowered planting esti mates from March. Yield estimates were also lower, although given supreme weather conditions the com crop could have time to catch up. With the Produc tion Report noted as supportive to com, it was seen as negative to soybeans as plant ed soybean acres were raised. Scattered showers are delaying the tail-end of soy bean planting, although this begins to be seen as negative as cool and wet condi tions will provide ideal growing for the beans already in the ground. Wheat 2 to 6 cents higher. Com 2 to 4 cents higher. Soybeans 7 to 9 cents lower. Sorghum 4 to 12 cents higher.

June 7,2002 Report Supplied By USDA NATIONAL FEEDER & STOCKER REVIEW - week ending June 7. Total - 280,400, last week 204,600. Auctions - 222,600, last week 150,500. Direct - 57,800, last week 54,100. Video/Internet - none, last week none. Old Format -150,300, last week 117,700, last year 176,200. This week’s reported auction vol ume included 50% over 600 lbs and 44% heifers. Compared to last week; areas through the mid-section of the United States where most of the feeder steers and heif ers are currently moving, sold cattle 1.00-2.00 lower. Early-week auctions posted strong markets but demand faded late in the week, after the futures market fell under pressure. Lightweight Stocker cattle were in short supply except for in the Southeast, where calves made up the bulk of receipts and traded 1.00-3.00 lower. Moisture conditions continue to be the major factor affecting feeder cattle prices. Certain areas 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico are reportedly dry and causing Southern producers to market fall calves sooner than normal. Local backgrounders cannot absorb enough of these lightweight Stockers to keep the market up, and or ders from further west are very light. Bone-dry conditions in the Rocky Moun tain regions are the main topic of concern in the cattle business. The severity of the drought is forcing large strings of feeder cattle to be market ed during this typically slow period. But, the early movement of these feeders is minor when compared to the exodus of the cow herds from Colorado and Wyo ming. The USDA’s Livestock Market News Service quoted nearly 9,000 head of replacement stock sold in their reported auctions this week, in Colorado alone. The surprising thing is how well the mar ket has held up, with most running age pairs selling from 800.00-900.00. Ground zero is in southeastern Colo rado with an epicenter of La Junta. This quiet town of 12,000 people has always been a large cattle marketing area, but has never seen this type of cow herd sell off. Between its two salebams, Winter Livestock and La Junta Livestock Com mission, over 27,000 of replacements have been sold in the last month. Virtually all of these, mostly cow-calf pairs, will be leaving the general area. Most of these will head east and be turned out on lush pastures from Arkansas up through east ern Nebraska, but some will end up as far away as California. Some rain did fall this past week from a cool front that stretched from the Texas Panhandle up to Wyo ming. The showers were extremely spotty, with most areas getting only traces while a few spots were nearly washed off the map. This is only a band-aid to an injury that’s more like having your heart ripped out, but the relief has to start somewhere. Lancaster Farming’s annual Dairy of Distinction section is July 27. The issue is scheduled to include feature farm reports on more than two dozen Dairy of Distinction award winners, Watch for it! Dairy of mm Distinction
