Electronic Drives
The innovative, electroni
cally-controlled drive
system enables eggS to be
transported at a smooth, coni
ous speed on an endless con'
or with drive units locj
intermittently up to 150’ apart
Optimum Rod Spacing \
Space between each cushioned rod is the J:
key to egg separation and preventing 11\

enables you to custom design a system that gen- \
tly transports eggs up, down, around corners and
in a continuous straight line without transfer, and
even declines to match processing equipment.

Summary
St. Joseph, MO
August 6,2003
Report Supplied By USDA
Grain bids were higher for the day,
while soybeans were mix. Wheat saw the
most gains today due to the Egyptian
purchase of 120,000 tons of soft white and
red winter wheat. In the corn and soybean
pits traders are keeping an eye on the
weather as it remains the major focus. In
the western corn-belt there is some mois
ture but there are spots where com is
stressed. Wheat was 7-10 cents higher.
Com 1-4 cents higher. Sorghum 2-4 cents
higher. Soybeans was mix, from 2 cents
lower to 2 cents higher.
