Daily National
Grain Market
Summary
St. Joseph, MO
February 19,2002
Report Supplied By USOA
Grain and soybean bids were slightly
lower mid-week as favorable weather con
ditions in winter wheat growing areas as
well as technical pressure weighed on
bids. Wheat 3 to 7 cents lower except
Portland 1 cent higher. Corn 1 to 4 cents
lower. Sorghum 5 cents lower. Soybeans 1
to 3 cents lower.
Weekly export inspection numbers
were negative for wheat bids and lack of
interest this week added pressure. The
yearly figures were below expectations for
all commodities. Improved weather con
ditions continue this week with additional
moisture forecast for wheat areas.
Com bids also declined due to spillover
weakness from bean pits, low weekly ex
port numbers, and improved weather con
ditions. Soybean bids lost most of Tues
days advances in reaction to
disappointing export outlook. Last weeks
inspection figures were better than ex
pected but yearly numbers remain low.
Technical selling was noted in soybean
pits and lower soybean meal demand lent
pressure. Grains inspected for export for
week ended 02/13/03: Wheat totaled 11.0
million bushels down 4.4, com 29.4 down
3.1, sorghum 1.1 down 1.9 million, and
soybeans 42.7 up 8.3 million bushels. Year
to Date: Wheat totaled 623.4 down 90.1,
com 693.5 down 73.1, sorghum 75.9 down
34.8, and soybeans 697.4 down 25.0. Crop
marketing years begin June 1 for wheat
and September 1 for com, sorghum, and
soybeans.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 22, 2003-A7
areas this past weekend. Snowfalls of 2-3
feet were common in Virginia, Pennsylva
nia, Maryland, New Jersey several New
England States were common. Reports of
4-plus feet were noted in some of the
mountain areas of Virginia, Maryland,
and Pennsylvania. Roads were closed and
there was state-imposed driving bans in a
couple states on Monday. Businesses,
schools and governments were closed
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Milk
plants, depending on location, either re
ceived no milk or had a lot of milk divert
ed to them. Employees could not get to
work which affected all levels of the dairy
processing market as well as all perish
able product markets. Farm pick ups
were delayed and many contacts wonder
ed if or how much milk was dumped at
the farm level. With all the disruptions to
transportation, milk traffic people were
working diligently to find trucks to pick
up milk and get it to plants in a relatively
timely manner. Reports indicate that
haulers and plant employees were doing
what they could and working long hours
to get milk processed and product out to
the market. Not only was snow a prob
lem, but many areas got heavy rainfalls
and ice storms. Powder outages were also
widespread.
Milk production is hard to report this
week, but still seems to be increasing in
most of the South. However, cooler
weather and the rains did seem to slow
output in the Southeast. Manufacturing
plants are operating as the milk arrives
and receipts were starting to increase as
the week progressed and more roads were
opened.
The condensed skim market was dis
rupted as deliveries couldn’t be made and
producers often had to increase drying
schedules.
The fluid cream market is weak, but
without milk getting to butter/powder
plants, cream wasn't being made and
shipped. Also, buyers/users didn't have
employees so they didn’t need cream. Few
spot sales were noted and that is to be un
derstood. Those sales that were reported
did occur at higher prices since the CME
average price for butter did increase 1.75
cents last week. Continued heavy clear
ances to churning facilities were reported.
This week, transportation was more of an
issue than supply/demand.
