May 13,2003 Report Supplied By USDA CORN BELT FEEDSTUFF: Feedstuff prices were mixed for the week. Soybean meal prices were slightly higher following a sharp jump in soybeans on the Board.

The absence of fresh export sales and some moisture in dry hard red winter wheat growing areas pushed wheat bids slightly lower. Corn planting continued where it was possible and good progress has been made, despite the intermittent wet weather. Light fund buying and a couple of good export orders this week limited declines in com pits. Soybean bids were higher for the fourth consecutive day due to continued concerns that the wet weather may cause corn acres to switch to beans. Lack of export interest so far this week has limited gains today. Wheat 1 to 9 cents lower. Com 1 to 3 cents lower. Sorghum 3 cents lower. Soy beans 3 to 7 cents higher.
