Daily National Grain Market Summary St. Joseph, MO July 24,2002 Report Supplied My USDA Grain and soybean bids higher after falling off Tuesday. Wheat steady to 3 cents higher, with Minneapolis 8 '/: cents higher. Com 7 to 9 cents higher. Sorghum 11 to 14 cents higher. Soybeans 6 to 9 cents lower. Mixed feelings over crop conditions and harvest yields brought support to the table. Wheat and corn bids regained Tuesday’s losses, with Soybeans only regaining about half. Scattered showers and cooler temps over the past few days have been nice, but not enough to reverse the damage. Scat tered showers remain in the forecast the next cou ple of days, but warmer temperatures expected back by the end of the week.
