Daily National Gram Market Summary St Joseph, MO August 14,2002 Report Supplied By USDA Com and Soybean bids were higher with wheat bids slightly higher only from support of row crops. The rainfall that moved across the Midwest was spotty dropping 3 inches here, .25 inch there, but basically disappointing thus lending sup port. Rainfall has now moved into the Eastern Combelt which could come into play on Thursday’s markets. Concern still lies over yields and speculation over yet lower production estimates in September. Warmer temperatures are now back in the forecast taking away the relief. Wheat steady to 3 cents higher. Com 5 to 7 cents higher. Soybeans 10 to 14 cents higher. Sorghum 9 to 10 cents higher.
