SETTLEMENTS 9/10
Corn and wheat closed higher and soybeans closed lower. The "trade" is short corn and wheat and long soybeans, so today felt like evening up before tomorrow's report. Early yield reports continue to come in better than expected for corn and soybeans. This is obviously very early and there hasn't been nearly enough data collected to give us a good feel for the overall crop size. The USDA report is tomorrow and we will have to see what the USDA says. There haven't been a lot of bushels harvested yet, so tomorrow's number may not be as reliable as we may hope. Either way, I will comment on the numbers in more detail in the Weekend wrap-up letter. Please give us a call before or after the report if you have any questions. We are always in the office early talking to customers, so feel free to call in.
